Sway Bar

"just toss the swaybars and never look back"

How would you go with insurance in the event of a claim???

I ask this as it seems now with my lift the sway bar is limiting wheel travel, how did you find the on road handling with out it?

Cheers stefan

Hey Stefan,

Have tried mine with and without combinations of both front and rear sway bar. Hardly notice effect of front at all, on or off (probably due to longer springs). Rear makes a noticeable difference (improvement) having it on, but didn't cause horrific drive conditions without it, for the few months I tried it without it on. Currently run vehicle without on the front, and with on the rear, but with extended chassis mounts to the rear sway bar.

As to legalities, they are fitted from the factory to provide improved handling, and as with most mods away from factory standard it is probably frowned upon and or illegal. Keep all the original bits in case they have to go back on.

I'd get on fine with the insurance company in the event of a claim.. Plenty of people I know (most GQ owners I know) have not run sway bars for years. some have had a few accidents, no issues, but every case is differnet... I didnt give a bleep , mine was engineered without them...

If you dont notice any difference offroad without a swaybar, then your car has issues. Mine gained a few inches more travel without them.

the tip, keep them for hanging plants on.

Oops,

should have clarified, on road handling wasn't made worse, but as Truckster said off-road the removal of the bars improved articulation a lot.

Cheers,

Ross.
