Re: Do I need a swaybar?
Intresting and good point I suppose. Well as soon as I get some cash
together to buy some bushing...I'll throw it back on. Guess I'll have to
skip lunch one day ;-)
Thanks Mike!

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
I got tired of putting my swaybar on and off so now it is just
disconnected and stored in the garage somewhere. I have found the
difference when driving on the freeway with vs. without it to be
minimal. I have no plans to put it back on.

It isn't the freeway where you need a sway bar, it's the mountain roads.
Taking the sway bar off for highway use is something that should only be
done with leaf sprung vehicles, and then it should only be done when the
springs are not the stock springs.

Re: Do I need a swaybar?
If you get in an accident with the anti-sway bar disconnected, you will
be in big trouble!
Been there, mine was connected, but the cops and insurance company
looked for it!
