Does the truck dive under hard cornering or does it corner than it did before?

 

Removing the sway bar is fairly popular among off-roaders, mainly to enhance axle articulation, but if your driving is mostly on the street/highway, then you will notice the handling difference. It certainly won't sit as flat when you corner & depending on how soft your suspension is, it can even resemble a boat ride. My jeep has a fairly large lift & large wheels and all these things can make handling worse, so I appreciate what a simple component like a sway bar can do to stabilize a vehicle. For off-roading I have sway bar links that can be disconnected & reconnected easily.

 

No it's cause it's a Dakota...everything is frickin expensive for it.

 

But other than cornering, it does allow the front wheels to move independently so a bump that hits one side wont jar the whole truck like it does now. I think our swaybars are too thick.

 

I do 99% highway/street. Truck does go "offroad" but I don't go hay wire with it.

 

Get the moog ones not too pricey and they are greasable. Its what I have. Plus they are about twice the size of the stock ones

 

i recommend ditching that heavy piece to everyone with a truck. street driving or not it improves ride quality by a ton! if your taking turns crazy enough to make the added body roll dangerous...i suggest looking into a sports car. the front sway bar is good for nothing. think about it. a solid piece of metal connecting a purpose built independent suspension. speed bumps, curbs, potholes, etc. dont even faze a truck without a front sway bar. feel like sipping coffee on the washboard road going 80mph? ditch the sway bar.

 

Anything that you would hit unevenly will smooth out with no swaybar, speed bumps aside who hits those sideways?

I'm going to try this to see how it is in my commute. I just get tired of those damn potholes or sewer grates that make the truck sideshift when I hit them. I'll keep the rear sway though so I can return to center after a corner, unlike most jeeps I see. It should make the truck look tougher too when I rev and have it tilt sideways.

 

I just recently removed my front sway bar. There is more body roll during heavy turning, but normal driving I have not noticed a difference, with or with out it.

I also have some other suspension issues I am dealing with right now which may be more of an issue.

 

I like the security the front sway bar brings when I take hairpin turns at 90 mph. I'm leaving mine on.
