  • Is it safe to drive without the front sway bar?

    I was putting in new shock/springs and poly LCA bushins and broke off one of the endlink on the sway bar. So, I need to go to autozone or something and get a new one but this is my only car. If I have to, I can ride my bicycle there but it will probably take like an hour. I'd rather put the wheels on my car and drive there if its not going to damage anything. So, is it alright to drive without the front sway bar?

        Wow. There's guys who don't drive well. If they can't tell a difference with that....

        If you can just go slow, sure. But if something happens and you have to make a fast move to avoid something, you've got a problem. The car will handle like a pickup with a 1000 lb load in the bed.

              Alright, went to the autozone and got the new Poly endlink for the sway bars today. It wasnt bad at all driving without it.

                I removed the front sway bar from my TA over two years ago and never put it back on. Drove my 96 regularly without a swaybar also.
