NJ Rear Sway Bar

Post by muffins »

Went wheeling the other day and my rear flex is shocking! The people i was with said that i should disconnect the rear sway bar. But we had a look and it wasn't an easy task as it's attached to the axle, not the chassis.

Do other people disconnect their sway bars and if so, where do you tie them off to? Otherwise, can you just remove the sway bar altogether??? How hard are they to remove? Can i just detach it from the axle and chassis and take it out? Will this affect the handling too much?

i disconect mine from the chassis only and leave it attached to the axle so i can connect it for on road driving, it hangs down a little further than when it is connected and could get caught on something but i take the chance with mine and i havent hit anything yet

I took mine right out and haven't really noticed any more body roll on the road. Off road it goes great though, better flex for sure.

To take it off, you'll probably need to lift the rear of the car, take a wheel off and probably the opposite shock absorber, then you just unbolt it from the chassis and diff and wiggle it around until you can get it out.

Pretty sure doing this means you'll need an engineering cert. though.
