Electronic Sway bar fix
This is what I did for my sway bay that just would not work properly.
I disassembled the entire unit while on the vehicle (disconnected the passenger side sway bar link to allow the unit to slide apart). There are 3 parts to the unit: the motor, the drivers side bar housing and the passenger side bar housing. I put anti seize on all the components and reassembled but it still didn't fix it completely. I took a closer look and found that the sliding collar that the motor plunger fits into was actually sticking due to a tight fit. The collar is in the drivers side housing and connects to a sliding fork/ring. I took my die grinder and ground the inside of the hole (where the collar fits in) just a little where it was sticking and reassembled the unit with anti seize grease. I took the Jeep for a test run down the road and in the yard and turned the disconnect on and off about 10 times. Worked perfectly every time
. It disconnected and reconnected almost immediately. This is a great mod for those units that just won't work.

Well it's been a month since the fix and I have gone on several trails since then. I disconnected the sway bay each time I went out and it disconnected and reconnected every time almost immediately. Looks like I fixed it completely.
