Sway bar removal pros and cons

[ktm505sx]

Dumb question
Do you have to disconnect the rear or front sway bar?

There is no rear away bar

Get under your car right now with a socket and take off the 4 black nuts that hold the mount on, then I think the end of the sway bar has 2 bolts on it, I forget.

Then go over speed bumps or dips. You will never go back. It really helps when your front wheels hit bumps slightly off. It gets rid of the violent rocking rebound sway motion over bumps. Unless you take an off camber turn on the freeway overpass too fast, then you will feel that "weeeee" feeling in your stomach and want to put it back on

Raptors run best though commando style, without the sway bar.

I agree.. I love the extremely tight handling with front and rear swaybars. I absolutely HATE the additional harshness of them.. I am seriously debating taking them off again (for good) for the Bullrun..

I couldn't imagine driving like I was this past weekend, WITHOUT the swaybars installed. Those of you that do high speed turns, and high speed drifting, you WILL NOT want to remove the sway bars.

This is not a mod for everybody... have to choose what's best for you based on you driving habits and terrain.

I meant removing the additonal rear swaybar.. It tightens the Raptor up too much on city (aka pothole hell) streets around here.. To the point the Raptor is skittish and slightly hops around on city streets.. Front swaybar will remain on for the bullrun..

Just add a bypass shock upfront. You'd be surprised how much it reduces body roll without a sway bar.

Deff i will try sway bar off, because whenever you are in a bad road with the raptor passing road holes the truck, you move side to side on the seats is very uncomfortable
