Overview
The Rubicon Express RE1159 is a rear sway bar end link for the 2007 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, sold as a pair. It is a non-disconnect end link, a design for vehicles that spend most of their time on the road, and it can be removed for improved off-road flex.
It is designed for a 5.5-inch lift and fits 2 and 4-door Wrangler JK models. It does not fit the Wrangler TJ, LJ or JL.
Key features
- Rear position end link, sold as a pair
- Non-disconnect style for daily road use
- Can be removed for improved off-road flex
- Designed for a 5.5-inch lift
- Non-greasable joint
Disconnect or fixed links
A non-disconnect end link stays attached to the sway bar at all times, which keeps the bar working on pavement. Disconnect style links are chosen when a driver wants more wheel travel on uneven ground and does not mind the change in on-road feel. Because this one is a non-disconnect design, the option to remove it for off-road flex is a deliberate trade-off.
End links take most of the sway bar’s load during cornering and when one wheel drops, so they wear faster than many other suspension parts. Lift height affects the angle of the link, which is why the length has to suit the ride height. When replacing links, change them as a pair so both sides match and the bar loads evenly.
- Look for clunks over bumps and at low speed
- Inspect the threads, boots and bushings for wear
- Snug the hardware once the vehicle is back on the ground
