70 Series Sway Bar Disconnect

Post by Pete »

Hi all,

I am going to disconnect front sway bar. - Disconnect first and then remove completely if its a worthwhile difference.

Anyone know roughly how much extra articulation I'll get and the difference to on road handling ?

Ta,

Pete

Unless youv'e got weak springs, removing the sway bar dos'nt make that much diiferants , even on a ramp test.

Pete, disconecting the sway bar is worth while, the amount of xtra articulation depends on spring drop and shockabsorbers . Give it a go you only have to disconect one side. As for road handling ? they don't , and with sway bar disconected are darn site worse .You can buy after market sway bar quick disconects, PM me or ph033387202 if you want details

PS , IS this answer alright OLDBLUE . Got your Broadband up and running ? ( 2 Kevs ) .

Hiya Smokey- have seen the temp disconnects on Trade Me looks like a good idea. I will just disconnect bar and see how it goes If I get a worthwhie improvement offroad I will either remove completely or if it affects on road handling ( if you could call it that) too much I wil fit one of the disconnect kits.
Thanks for your help

Pete
