Overview
The Rubicon Express RE1158 is a front sway bar end link extension. It is a non-disconnect style end link intended for vehicles that are driven mostly on the road, and the link can be removed for improved off-road flex. It is non-greasable and has a direct-fit design.
The RE1158 is a different part number from the RE1145 extended front end link, so confirm the part number on the box before ordering.
Key features
- Extended front sway bar end link
- Non-disconnect style
- Can be removed for improved off-road flex
- Non-greasable
- Direct-fit design as listed
Before you install
Front end links control how the sway bar moves as the front axle cycles, so a longer link changes the bar angle at ride height and at full droop. Once the link is in, look at how the bar sits side to side. An uneven angle can load the bushings unevenly and wear them faster than expected.
Because this link is non-greasable, the bushings are maintained by inspection rather than by lubrication. Check for cracking, play or torn boots every time the tires come off, and replace worn bushings before they allow the link to knock or clunk. Keep the fasteners torqued and re-check them after the first few trail runs.
- Measure the sway bar angle before and after the install
- Look for bushing cracks or play at each service interval
- Check clearance at full droop and full compression
- Re-torque fasteners after the first trail runs

Vehicle fitment
Confirm the year, make and model against your vehicle before ordering.
Front end link length depends on the lift and the vehicle, so confirm both before buying. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Front end links change the sway bar position at the new height, so check the bar angle and the link clearance after the install. Because the link is non-greasable, the bushings are not serviced with grease after the install.
What’s included
