Convertible sway bar?

[SuperchargedRS]

Well I have to get a new swaybar endlink bushing (guess now comes the measuring as to what size my 89' 4wd N/A loyale has).

 

So I was thinking, are there any detachable end links, i.e. pull a pin and the sway bar stores in the rear position for off-road, drive back on road move the swaybar down, lock it and go.

no, these are not jeeps.....

 

just take it off.there really is no adverse reaction when it is removed.SEARCH, there are plenty of threads about it.cheers,brian

anybody who is serious about actual performance and not just spending money on stuff that looks cool doesn't buy "off-road" sway bars. they're a joke.

 

if you're that set on having them connected for the street, remove the bolt from one end-link. that will render it useless. if that's too much for you, replace the bolt with a pin of somesort.

 

 

 

That's what I did. then the first time I disconnected it, I didn't feel like reconnecting it for a short drive on the street. it was never connected again, removed it all together not long after that. it's a very small change.

People are getting a little touchy on this site lol

 

I just thought it would be nice to be able to disconnect it without tools and not have it just hang down to cause problems wile off road.

The best way to have a sway bar if your going to wheel a Subaru, is to take a hacksaw, cut it in half, and throw it away (the swaybar:rolleyes:)

That's the issue, I still drive the loyale on the road and I like to get into my corners lol

I cut mine off when I put my 2" lift on and it didn't seem to change it much. I think it actually cut a fair amount of understeer out if anything.

seriously. don't knock it unless you've tried it. the front sway bar does so little on the street.

 

also, if you're at stock height, you won't see much improvement by removing/disconnecting it.

 

and if you're lifted. you've got no business driving like you need sway bars.

I used my 10amp angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. sawzalls don't have badass sparks flying everywhere.

I drove my 4" lifted wagon like it needed sway bars. I always left my swaybar on, but I don't think it did much honestly. The body roll would just flop over and fully compress the suspension on the outside of the turn anyway. Once it was set over, it was stable. It was a bit unnerving when you'd switch directions and it would roll over the other direction. Scared the bejusus out of my friends but it never was unstable. Even like that it was way more stable than my stock suspension toyota tacoma is. Better in the woods than my truck too.
