DESCRIPTION
STABILIZER BAR
The bar extends across the front underside of the chassis and connects to the frame crossmember. The ends of the
bar mount to the lower suspension arm. All mounting points of the stabilizer bar are isolated by bushings.
DISCONNECTING STABILIZER BAR
WARNING: The disconnecting stabilizer bar unit
(2) is not serviced separately from the bar (4). Do
not disassemble this unit (2) from the stabilizer
bar (4).
NOTE: The stabilizer links (5), stabilizer bar retain-
ers/ bushings (3) and the stabilizer bar as a com-
plete unit (4) only are serviceable. The new bar (4)
consists of the disconnecting unit (2) and elec-
tronic actuator (1) attached as an assembly to the
bar (4).
This system allows greater front suspension travel in
off-road situations. It consists of a disconnecting unit
(2), electronic actuator (1), stabilizer bar (4), stabilizer
bar mounting retainers (3), stabilizer links (5) and a
anti-rotational bracket (6) connected to the stabilizer
bar retainer (3).
The electronic disconnecting stabilizer bar provides 2
mode positions operated by a switch on the dash: On-
Road mode, and Off-Road mode. The electronic dis-
connecting stabilizer bar is designed to be driven in
On-Road mode (indicated by a solid on-road mode
light) for normal street and highway conditions (dry
hard surfaced roads).
