Mystery handle on GQ dash

Post by webfish »

OK - another stupid question from me.

Fist time owner of a Safari, LWB, '90.

To the left of the steering column, half hidden under the dash is a little lever ... almost looks like one of those dash mounted hand-brakes. Got a lot of Japanese gibberish written next to it.

WTF is it ?!

Hi, this has been covered before.. there is a cool search function on the right hand side of the page that is really helpful.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

This is a rear sway-bar disconnector, pull it out to disconnect, push it back in to reconnect it.

Hmmmm - the search returns absolutely nothing for

sway bar
sway-bar
sway bar disconnector
sway-bar disconnector

... except from my post.

Of course I had no idea that was what it was before.

Anyway, sounds like something I should leave alone.

Thanks for the help guys :D

Use it when your offroad to get more flex out of the rear end.

If you knew it was for the sway bar you wouldnt be searching "sway bar" :mrgreen: try searching "handle" as you asked in your question? :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

Now now kiddies don't all pounce on the new guy.
It is a question easily answered by a haynes manual though so get one of them for future reference first. You'll find it real helpful.
