JKS Quick Diconnect Installation

Page 3

Troubleshooting

If swaybar does not rotate freely, remove from vehicle,

clean and apply rubber lubricant to chassis-mounted bush-

ings, and reinstall.
90% of all Quick Disconnect problems are related to the

leaf spring U-bolt plates, which must be parallel with the

axle housing to ensure proper alignment of male and fe-

male ends. U-bolt plate alignment (fore/aft & side/side) and

design are critical to Quick Disconnect operation.
The remaining 10% of problems are related to inconsis-

tent swaybar manufacturing tolerances (swaybar twisted

from factory), unevenly distributed vehicle weight (includ-

ing accessories & passengers) and operation on unlevel

surfaces.
If Stainless Steel Lynch Pins (D) are still difficult to remove

after break in period, and you’ve already confirmed that the

male and female ends are properly aligned, drill through

the lynch pin hole (with Quick Disconnect connected) using

a 1/4” drill bit.
OE shock bracket should not make contact with Quick Dis-

connect body – check near bend. Grind or hammer shock

bracket to prevent interference if necessary.

9400 only – Wrangler models.

Maintenance

Quick Disconnects should be lubricated regularly as part of

vehicle maintenance schedule.
Regular cleaning with pressurized water is recommended

to maximize ease of operation and reliability. Always lubri-

cate afterwards to evacuate any moisture.
