Do a google, and you'll find plans to make your own if you want to save a few $$$

with surfs ditch the rear and keep the front.

those swaybar disconects ............ah no.

why take it out when it can be left in for better road handling and disconnected for off road use

taxi · Post by **taxi** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:13 pm

why ditch the rear and keep the front its the front i want to articulate more surely being able to disconnect it will help do this

krawlr · Post by **krawlr** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 7:23 pm

good point..

over the years ive done several test drives in surfs that ive owned (highway etc) and found that removing the front makes it handle really bad ,opposed to the rear and dosent help it flex much either ,cause they dont take much to top out anyway to hit even TRIMED bump stops.....and man those disconects rattle and are fiddly to work with .....and think of reconecting them after a good play in the mud...its bad enough airing down or adj youre ranchos...

hey its youre wallet but i only know from experience :wink:

good luck dude[/quote]

Krawlr's points are valid, you will get dirty refitting them but I have had to do a CV since I had them on and it's definitely quicker with a disconnect than without.

Having said that some people can do a CV without disconnecting the swaybar, I always have to.

I could not hit my trimmed bumpstops with sway bar on, I can with it removed. We are probably only talking about maybe 8mm extra, not a whole lot.

Krawlr your back, did the mermaids catch you fiddling the hubo or something and give you a HMPS holiday
8mm at the bump stop magnifies x 3 at the wheel, but the biggest thing is
the reduction in ground pressure from the low wheel as it is being pulled up by the high wheel, increasing cross axle.

Already spoken to him, he's not interested in making them for Surf's.

Only option is to source overseas or make them yourself.

Thanks JTop, already bought a set from the US a couple of months ago.

If you want to borrow them to take measurements from etc let me know.

Cheers

There are two different sorts of IFS swaybars, one with a right angled joint and one with a verticle link.
