Re: quick question sway bar links
 

It is very illegal to drive on the street with no anti sway bar!!!!

If you get in a fender bender bad enough (injuries) that the police
respond and they check out your rig and find that major piece of safety
equipment missing, you will get busted and be the one found at fault in
the accident.

They will say you could maybe have avoided the accident if you had
proper steering control.

If you disconnect the rear one on a TJ, the back springs can/will fall
out too.

Re: quick question sway bar links
 

While I agree that you should avoid driving on the road without the
swaybar connected, it's not like the jeep is gonna flip at the first
slight turn you make.

I have forgotten to reconnect mine after a trail before. You
definitely notice looser handling, so you need to make sure you don't
go as fast, and drive extra defensively (read: look further down the
road) so you don't have to make sudden corrections or avoidance moves.
If you drive carefully and realize the jeep is going to be more
unresponsive to sudden changes in direction, you can usually handle it
ok.

That said, I would still recommend leaving them connected and just
bring your T55 to the trail to remove them there. Even if you do drive
extremely defensively, it's always possible to have some idiot out
there cause you to react suddenly, and the unexpected body roll
without a swaybar could surprise you and cause you to get in an
accident. If I notice the swaybar is still disconnected when I forget
to reconnect it, I'll usually pull over and reconnect it before
proceeding. I don't like the erratic curve response with it
disconnected on the road.

So how's that for arguing both sides of the point? ;-)

Re: quick question sway bar links
 

Interesting. I didn't know it was actually *illegal* per se. So even
though some dumbass might cut you off and cause an accident, you're
supposedly at fault because you couldn't swerve around the idiot.
Stupid, but I can definitely see that argument being made, and won.

So, don't do as I have been bad and done in the past! Don't be lazy!
Keep that sucker attached until you're off-road, and remember to put
it back on again after! ;-)
