P500 swaybar

[Razorback]

Picked up mine last Saturday. Who has removed the swaybar? What did you think about it? Looked for pics to make sure I was looking at the right thing, but couldn't find any.

I just disconnected links and taped them. Definitely does not feel bouncy from side to side when running over obstacles, and ok on full throttle but depends what is your level of confidence. It does not lean like my bike anyway

I pulled mine and never looked back. Much much happier without it, even with a larger tire I can find no negatives.

Makes for a much smoother ride in my opinion...

Yup, removed mine and never looked back. Much smoother ride and more stable crawling over uneven terrain as the suspension flexes better.

Thanks for the replies. Pulled mine off Saturday and took it for a ride yesterday. Felt alot better on trails.

This is interesting. Any pics of which bar this is that you guys have removed.

Is it worth trying to make a quick disconnect?

Yes, just unscrew bracket from both sides and use duck tape/zip tie lock to fix temporary brackets and try how it rides . I did this way for two rides and removed it permanently.

Thanks, I still can't tell where that's at besides under the buggy. Is it in the rear?

 

[solrus]

yes rear. it kinda defeat purpose of independent suspension on very uneven terrain, that's why in premium Toyota cars they install Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System , that disengage anti sway bar allowing better articulation/travel.

Got it. I'll be removing it next weekend when I see my ride again!

Just dont install a-arm guards yet, or it will be hard to remove it.

Roger. I haven't installed them yet.

plan for 20 mins max

Lol, that means I'll plan 40.

 

[solrus]

just 2 bolts to unscrew and if you want you can take off supporting "arms", but I just zip locked them to the frame. Should take them also, may be tonight (additional 2 bolts)

Would this be something that you would ever want back on? For pretty much a mostly off road slower driving vehicle I don't really get the benefit of rehooking it back up? On fancier road vehicle they auto disconnect.

I took ours off with the plans of putting it back on if needed - that was about a year ago and almost forgot where I put it. I can't see where for our style of riding (slow crawling or just exploring) I will ever put it back on.
