Sway Bars

Post by Ender »

I'd like to pick your brains on the subject of sway bars. I've just removed my front one in an effort to improve articulation and make the ride less bone jarring.

Are there any rakes I should avoid stepping on in this area? Any things I should be careful of or watch out for with the sway bar off?

And how about the rear sway bar... is it worth removing that?

I'm relatively new to this, so I appreciate any information on the subject. Thanks!

Take them both off and throw them in the nearest dumpster. If you're wanting articulation... you are obviously past the point of wanting nice street manners.

if you remove the front THEN YOU MUST REMOVE THE REAR!!!! Many books will tell you that this will give you dangerous handling characteristics. It doesn't let the rear suspension unload causing it to go into uncontrollable slides. I had to find out the hard way in my teenage years on a car.
