front sway bar removal

00gtCoolGuy · July 18th, 2008, 11:14 PM

how to? anyone?

is it dangerous or unwise to leave it off for everyday driving?

sxynerd · July 18th, 2008, 11:17 PM

Remove the end links unbolt the two U brackets with the bushings and finagle it down. You'll see once you lift the car how it needs to come out. 1hr job at the most.

If you have lowering spring it's not so bad as long as you're not trying to take sharp turns at 60mph. Stock springs it's slightly more squirrely.

I say if you go to the strip alot then go for it, but if you just drive the car than leave it on there.

"IF" you had adjustables in the front, you'd never notice it was gone unless you open track.

take the car to the track about twice a month...don't care to much for great handling or cornering, its my DD, but i take it easy on the streets and save my fun for the track

I've had mine off for quite some time with no problems. as long as you drive sanely I say take it off & toss it.

SWEET2KSTANG · July 19th, 2008, 01:27 AM

i run with mine off a lot. i take it out on twisties hard, DD, and race without it. a little more body roll hitting the turns hard, but not too awfully bad.

travis_afx · July 19th, 2008, 01:30 AM

I took mine off and its my dd. I haven't had any problems, just a little more body roll.

sxynerd · July 19th, 2008, 02:22 AM

I just thought of one more thing. The "squish" turning into driveways can get annoying if you have over sized wheels and tires.

Drgnracin72 · July 19th, 2008, 02:42 AM

wanna sell me your sway bar and end links and stuff? i took mine off a long time ago, and would like to get mine back to handling well instead of pure drag racing. anyways, you will notice more body roll, but its not unsafe.

99mustanggtman · July 19th, 2008, 03:13 AM

I've had mine off for like a month and half because i was hitting the strip, i'm too lazy now to install it, but you will notice incread body roll, i def did.

Drgnracin72 · July 19th, 2008, 03:29 AM
