    Its for raising or lowering the steering mate. Pull it down and youll be able to lift your wheel up and down then lock it back in when its at the height you want

    IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK

    That releases the Stabaliser(Sway Bar) in the rear of the Patrol to allow for more Flex when Off Road.
    only yous when 4x4ing.

    Hi mate, where about's is this lever?

    Is it directly under the steering wheel?

    GU patrols don't have the manual sway bar release in Australia anyway as far as I know...Only GQ's came out with the release handle.

    I'm 99% sure gu's don't have sway bar releases. I think overseas model GR's do but not Aussie gu's.

    Throw us up a pic of the lever mate. My money's on the steering wheel adjustment too.
