so my old front sway bar end links were shot, so i ordered new ones and didnt spend enough so they both snapped within 2 weeks. i have been driving w/o the front sway for a couple of weeks. I KNOW the foolishness in this; i have a ton of body roll and the danger of not having them vs. enjoying that little extra flex and lack of body roll over bumps is really, probably stupid. but if i pull the rear off too, is that going to exacerbate ny body roll issue? i do plan on getting some discos for the front. so should i just wait till the front is hooked back up to pull the rear off, or go for it?

 

Apparently the back ones do bugger all, Ive got no front in mine and its fine as long as your drive to suit.
If your going round like a mad man then its prob a good idea to put them back in.

 

IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL REATTACH THE FRONT SWAY BAR ASAP!! If you happen to get into an accident and it is known your rig was missing the appropriate suspension components like your front sway bar, your done! If you want to run without the rear sway bar than that your choice. I did this with out issue. You take so much of a rish drivng your rig as is right now missing the sway bar plus it put WAY more stress on other suspension components than they are used to and could cause you to break more parts than you want. Please Be Careful!!! Good Luck!!

 

^x2 buddy. It may not feel like it drives differently but an abrupt maneuver or turn can send it all over the road. Buy some nice quality discos and keep it safe

 

I drive mine without sway bars, because it's only slow in town driving, and it's still scary as ****. Soon as I can afford some good ones, I am putting the front back on. I had to go down the highway one day with it, it sucked

 

With really good/awesome shocks in front you shouldn't NEED it.
Some XJ's came from the factory WITHOUT rear sway bars.
I do not have either connected, and it drives fine. Just understand how it needs to be driven, and do not be stupid about it. These aren't race vehicle, not most of us anyways.
