Just makes it wobble around a little but you get used to it, you will have to adjust your on road driving to suit by slowing down :D

if you don't want to chew through too many cv's than leave the swaybar in.

because if you leave the sway bar in there is no chance of the front flexing beyond level and will almost neva break a cv, altho i still think its possible

Vitara Swaybars

Post by Impulsive »

I have owned about 6 Vitaras, and the first thing I do to them is remove the swaybar. I have a 65mm suspension lift in my current one, and I can belt around corners without even the thought of losing it or rolling it.

I do, however, have 7in slightly offset rims and 235's. I probably wouldn't be quite so brave on the pizza cutter stocker wheels.

As far as I'm concerned, taking the swaybar off has very little effect to the on-road performance, and I have never broken a CV offroad in 4wd mode. I'd very comfortably say that with your minimal lift you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Get it off :lol:
