I would try and figure out a way to attach that nut to the plate.

I could see it stripping out


But none the less, very cool idea, and I am sure i will need it soon

AEV doesn't make a big deal of it in their ads, but enabling or disabling the swaybar system is possible with the ProCal. Here's a link to the user's guide; look at page 5:

question.....

does the electronic swaybar going bad causes all the lights on dash to go crazy, jeep starting problems, jepp will stay in first gear when all the dash light go crazy,...

this is happenind to my jeep but took it to dealer and did not do anything even had the video of the dash lights going on etc, I told them to check the disco but I GUES THEY LAZY.

they reprogram and stay good just for a day,, then will remain good for a while and the problem will come back...
I am really hoping thiscrap is coming for the edisco and fix it myself even if its still under warrany.

could you advice me o r give me your opinion? thanks !!!

Yes. Which is why many people decide to sell them once the harness/connector fails.

Also, while you have the sway bar off, it's a good idea to check, clean and lube the yoke and other internals. Some folks have had corrosion and even water inside.

Funny, I just replaced my actuator with Evo's device. Wish I would have saw this first. Oh, well. Now I can disconnect my sway bar when it's not in 4low. Just cost me a $100 bucks to do so.
