A suspension system (10) includes a stabilizer bar (12) having a first (20A) and a second (20B) segment attached to respective vehicle suspension members (22A,22B). The first and a second segments are selectively coupled by a decoupler assembly (26) to provide coordinated or uncoordinated movement of the first and second suspension members. The decoupler assembly is preferably in communication with a controller (28) and sensors (30) located adjacent the vehicle wheel assemblies. The controller interprets the signals from the sensors and determines whether the decoupler assembly should be activated. In some embodiments, a limited slip can be achieved between said first and second stabilizer bar segments.
