Description

Overview

The Rubicon Express RE1183 is a Gen II sway bar link, sold under part number RE1183 and also identified as R/ERE1183. It keeps the sway bar in its proper location after a suspension lift, which matters for handling once the suspension geometry has changed. The link is non-greasable.

A sway bar link must match the axle and the lift, so confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, make and model before ordering.

Key features

  • Gen II sway bar link
  • Keeps the sway bar in position after a lift
  • Non-greasable
  • Non-disconnect type

Sway bar links and lifts

The sway bar links connect the anti-roll bar to the suspension, so they carry load each time the body rolls in a turn or the wheels move off road. When a lift changes the suspension geometry, the link keeps the bar where it should sit and limits unwanted movement.

Links are a wear item. Worn ends or bushings show up as clunking over bumps or a loose, wandering feel, and they can let the bar shift out of position. Check that the link moves freely through full travel after installation, and re-torque the fasteners once the suspension settles.

  • Check the link through full suspension travel
  • Inspect both sides at the same time
  • Re-torque fasteners after the first drives
  • Look for torn boots or play at the ends

Questions & Answers

Is the RE1183 greasable?

No. The RE1183 is non-greasable, so it has no grease fittings and the bushings are not serviced by greasing. It is a non-disconnect design.

Why is a sway bar link needed after a lift?

The link keeps the sway bar in its proper location after a suspension lift. Once the suspension geometry has changed, the sway bar needs the link to hold its position for predictable handling and safe steering.

Does the RE1183 fit my vehicle?

Confirm fit before ordering. Compare your vehicle's year, make and model with the axle and lift height, since the link must match both.

What are the signs a sway bar link is worn?

Look for clunking over bumps, looseness at the ends, or a sway bar that shifts position. Inspect the ends and bushings and check for torn boots or play when the suspension moves through its travel.

Should both sides be replaced together?

Often, yes. Links on opposite sides wear at similar rates, so replacing them as a pair keeps the sway bar balanced. Check the other side for play whenever one link is replaced.
