Quick Sway Bar Question...

I just removed my sway bar after snapping an end link in big bear...



...soooo I took it off



BOOM!



So my question is...do I need to get an alignment after removing this bad boy?


Thanks!

 

You shouldn't need one....go flex that biatch now

 

Ah yea!!! Thanks for the quick response.

 

If you hit something big that snapped it you may need an alignment, but the sway bar itself has nothing to do with alignment. Not sure what front suspension you're running but you may want to move to something stiffer without the bar.

 

I don't know if its all the lack of sway bar or all the new fox suspension but I love the way my truck feels when climbing over obstacles now!

Although can't hurry anywhere anymore... drives like a boat...

 

Sounds nice!

 

So you still have stock front coils, right?

 

Ya

 

That can be pretty dangerous in the turns or emergency maneuvers unless you upgrade your coils to something much beefier than stock coils. You can get a lot of corner nose dive. Recommend you practice a bit somewhere safe and away from other people and get a feel for this carefully, then replace it (the antiswaybar) until you get better coils.

Quite a few threads discuss this, and I removed mine from my first gen, but I also upgraded to much stronger aftermarket coils.

 

Great. Thank you for the info. Shocks and coils are next on my list.

 

Actual IFS now

 

Yessir. I really can't feel a difference in my highway/city driving. But then, I've always been a fairly cautious driver.

 

Just watch it..... No more diamond lane to offramp in one move..... Gotta time things better now..... Been there, done that

 

No prob, glad I could provide some insight. How can it be bad if it means another mod, right?

 

Exactly!
