Sway bar disconnected

[Peterb]

after off roading I noticed my sway bar is disconnected at the lca, it’s come loose before and been tightened now it’s off, i’m wondering if it should just be removed and forget it

Might look at replacing the end link.

Had my endlinks zip tied to LCA for over year now no issues.

so you’re driving with sway disconnected? how do you find the handling?

Get new end links and use some locktight on the nuts, problem solved. Cheap fix. Sway bar is there for a reason, you paid for it, use it!

Personally I like it better. I did this after I put eibachs on upfront. Definitely does have more body roll. To each there own, here is a small thread kind of sums it up

Not a bad article. Iam about to put RTT on my truck here in about 6 weeks, I will dig more into this when I get it installed.

thanks ryan, good opinion article, I drove a day and noticed no difference then saw the broken link, I have kings which are stiffer than stock which in theory lessens the sway bar effect, again theory is front sway reduces oversteer rear sway reduces oversteer (we have no rear sway) sways in general band aid soft springs, I drive slow on the street anyway removing the sway might just exclude the headache if the link keeps breaking

I should have searched! lots of good opinions for and against, I think fords intention is safety and getting the truck to feel like a car
