Lots of great info in this thread regarding manual actuation (the evo solution), DIY solutions and the like, but im curious if there is anything one can do from a preventative maintenance perspective to help prolong the life of the factory rubicon swaybar system. From what ive read, its not even a matter of avoiding water, as humidity and normal rain/weather can cause erosion that ultimately kills the electrics in the system.
I am inquiring because i have a 2015 JKUR, no problems as im only about to roll over 22k miles. Im curious to get under the rig and see if I can come up with a preventative maintenance regimen. Im sure it would be a PITA but im wondering if anyone has tried anything prior to failure?
I do like the idea of the evo system, since most regular end link system disconnects can be a little tricky if the chassis leans to 1 side or the other (which it usually does), making the last side you pull a bit more difficult.

Same Problem with my Ruby.
All the pics seem to have gone away, can you link to them or repost?
Now bench test it (sorry but Photobucket wouldn’t let me straighten out the video!):
Once I saw that the template worked okay, I then make the permanent plate out of 3/16 plate and painted it with Rustoleum. Here are some shots of the finished mod:
Now to disconnect, I just turn the thumbscrew…takes about 3 seconds!
