Overview
The Rubicon Express RE1185 is a Gen II non-disconnect sway bar link, sold under part number RE1185 with the code R/ERE1185. It holds the sway bar in its proper position once a suspension lift has changed the geometry, which helps the vehicle handle predictably. The link is non-greasable.
Universal fit applies, but no year, make, model or axle is named. The link has to match the lift and the mounting points, so confirm the vehicle before buying.
Key features
- Gen II design
- Non-disconnect type
- Non-greasable service
- Holds the sway bar in position after a lift
Inspection after installation
After a lift, the sway bar sits at a new angle, and the link carries the load that the bar transfers. A non-disconnect link holds the bar in place at all times, so any looseness or bent end shows up in steering and body control. Check the link’s movement through full suspension travel after the first install.
Non-greasable links depend on the bushing and end condition rather than regular lubrication. Look for splits in the rubber, cracks at the mounting points, and bright wear marks where the link rubs. When one link needs replacement, check the other side as well so both sides match in stiffness and angle.
- Check the link at full suspension travel
- Look for split or cracked bushings
- Inspect mounting points for cracks
- Compare both sides before replacing one
