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.
