Yup. It's not the DDing that's an issue. It's that emergency maneuver sans sway bar. That's when it gets dicey.

It's not dicey to make a emergency maneuver. I don't feel unsafe with out it. But then agian I've grown up driving old old cars with out sway bars so I like the feeling. Now I'm not that flexy my suspension is rather stiff. If I was flexy I might run one. I don't have death wobble no vibes no pulls so there's noting I'm worried about

Who said anything about death wobble or vibes or pulls? What does that have to do with your sway bar?

I can't believe people are even arguing this. Sway bars are not even expensive.

Just an FYI, next time hit the deer, it is softer & safer than anything you will swerve in to (like oncoming traffic, trees, cattle, whateva).

And technically your are supposed to maintain speed. You brake, and whatever is in front can roll onto your windshield (if you're low enough). Maintain speed and you'll run over it.
