Front sway bar removal

[jeff1998]

I just noticed tonight that my passenger side sway bar link has ripped off. I think it is because I cranked the torsions all the way up. I think I will just remove the whole thing. Has anybody else done this and what good or bad has happened. I drove for years in my Suzuki Sidekick with no sway bar and no problems. I know the front will flex a lot better but did not know how it will handle. Just wondering about this big ole beast. 98 EB

that is a safety concern...if you ever swerve...i would think that you run the risk of loosing control...up to you if you feel like risking your life and the other lives riding with you and those in other vehicles...sway bar link is $40 or you can get it from junk yard...and i'm willing to bet this is your DD...so why bother risking everything...get another truck if you want incredible lean for when you go mudding and 4-wheeling...THINK SAFETY FIRST!!!

My sway bar has been disconnected for 4 years. No issues. It's not a street queen though, so I don't really make any 4G turns in it. If you start running slalom courses against nissan z's or something, I would suggest linking it back up. But I've had no problems.

my passenger side is off too. i need new links, but screw it! i think ill disconnect the other front one and then make quick releases for the rear.

That is the Exact same thing I said about my Suzuki. Guys told me not to take turns at 90mph anymore. That thing would not go over 65 so I was fine. I think I will just remove it for now and see how it acts. Links are pretty cheap so a fix would be cheap and easy if needed. Thanks guys.

Yup ... just did this one too!

Love the results offroad and don't drive crazy
enough to need it on the road.

Was going to make some quick disco's for it but said ... NAH!

Yet another part to lighten the expy's weight.
