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
