Default Rear sway bar removal...safe for the street?

just curious if those who have removed their rear sway bar noticed any negative effects to the on-street handling of their XJ. questioning whether i should remove mine and if it's safe to do so.

There is a thread going on about this. I dont have one on mine I belive it even came from the factory without it. So imo I would say you dont need it. Mine is my DD and I dont see any problems with out it. I also have a big sway bar up front maby that helps it and the fact that I have a stiffer ride and RC 9000 series shocks. lol

if it's your DD then certainly keep the front. the rear is your choice.

Mine was a factory delete with the "Up-County" suspension package. So yes it's safe...
