Do you really need sway bar disconnect?
There’s no reason at all why you’d want to disconnect the sway bars on your road car. And, for a four-wheel drive you only want to disconnect them when driving at low speeds off-road. Sway bars are designed to ensure your vehicle’s wheels don’t move too far up or down independently of the opposite wheel.
Why do you disconnect sway bars?
Disconnecting the sway bar allows for greater suspension articulation over rough terrain, enhancing off-road capabilities, while reconnecting the sway bar improves on-road handling and stability.
Which is the best sway bar disconnection system?
This ensures the best performance on the road for both an electronic and manual disconnection system. Off-road this length is critical for a Jeep electronic sway bar disconnect system because the system disconnects the sway bar in the middle and not on the ends. That means the sway bar links themselves remain attached to the bar.
What happens when you disconnect the sway bar on a jeep?
Driving With Your Sway Bars Disconnected. This is due to the Jeep’s inability to maintain both sides of the wheels level when the sway bar is disconnected. The independent flexing of each side could also cause excessive bouncing and build up enough momentum to tilt the Jeep.
Is it possible to unbolt sway bar links?
While this is great for driving on the road, it’s not always perfect for trails since trails are not smooth and level (at least not the fun ones) and you won’t be going very fast when you are off-road. Unbolting your sway bar links is not difficult, but after a couple of times it can become a hassle.
What happens if the sway bar is too long?
If the length is too short, you run the risk of having the link drop down too far during articulation, wrapping around the other end, and bending in half. The same can be said if the sway bar links are too long and could cause the bar to go in the opposite direction.
