Rubicon sway bar internal spring

Kalums said:
This is the stuff I used to reassemble with, worked amazingly well, that on all the gear faces and anywhere metal meets metal seemed to work best. Then a good quality gear grease (I used the valveline semi synthetic). Hope you can figure this out. I will say that personally the No Limits disconnect is the way to go once your electric motor kicks the bucket tho. Just throwing that out there. 

I probably will get the No Limit while the motor is still good, and try to get a few bucks for the motor. I'll try the oil/grease you suggest and see if that helps. Thanks for the input. :thumb:
 
I thought it went at the end of the spring. I really couldn't tell with those printed instructions. The picture quality on them is so bad.

I'll have to take it apart again and take another look.

thanks

OH! and make sure that big washer gets put back in between the "bar" faces (where the two pieces of the individual sway bars meet inside the sliding gear) forgot that once.... Had to disassemble and reassemble, what a hassle.

On the no limits it does, but if you took the whole sway bar apart there is a big washer that goes in between the gear faces so they don't rub.
 
When my electronic disconnect on my rubicon burnt out the first month I had it, I just installed the JKS sway bar Manuel disconnect....I see that your issue is the mechanical part but sooner or later the electronics will fail in the electronic motor part.....and you will be stuck. Just my two cents

How will a swaybar (locked or unlocked) leave them stuck?

If/when my motor fails I will replace it with another. I have had a few times where it was a benefit to reconnect on the trail. This would be a PITA with standard disconnects.
 
Went to stealership and they said it would be 165 to look at it and IF they decide it's covered, it'd be $100 deductible to fix. For that price, I could save some money and buy a new non rubicon one. Or perhaps I can get the "Manuel" disconnect mentioned above. Which I assume is where you hire a guy in front of the home Depot to ride with you and manually disconnect the sway bar.

Probably a long shot here digging up an old thread... but does anyone have info on this spring? I have a rubi bar that's already EVO converted and the internal spring actually snapped due to being badly corroded. That spring needs to be functional to reconnect even with the EVO knob. I'm sure something similar off the shelf would work but just thought I'd see if anyone had any more info on it before attempting to source a replacement. TIA.

Have you tried calling Evo Mfg? If they don't have spares hopefully they can at least tell you the size of it. If not, I'm sure there are plenty of people on here that have one that could pull it off real quick and measure (myself included). Spring rate might be harder to track down, not sure if they would tell you that.

I think he's referring to the internal spring that's on the inside of the motor. There's a pic of this one further back in the thread - it pushes on the fork that pushes on the coupling that locks the two halves of the bar together.

^^^This.
I'd be surprised if EVO couldn't help you. The circled part number is probably what you want.20200611_111731.jpg
