Re: Quik Disconnects
Mike, the benefit to a disco like Tera's (and now JKS's) is that they
provide a method to quickly secure the disconnected swaybar and swaybar link
up and out of the way. When you keep the stock links and just unbolt them,
you have to use bungee cords or zip-ties to hold the swaybar up and out of
the way.

From my reading of Mike's post, he is suggesting that it is okay to just
disconnect on one side and let the bar move as the suspension works.
