I don't run one front or rear on my daily driver. I wish I had disconnects, but I am used to it and its not too bad.

Is the torx bolt supposed to come out? I thought the nut just came off.

I removed both my Swaybars. The rears went when liftkits went on the front went when the quick discos broke.
5" lift, 33's, and daily driver.
I like the way it handles.
Back in the day (i.e. mid 70's and earlier) most cars didn't have antiswaybars, and a Truck with sway bars.......

An XJ ain't a sports car. Drive it like it's not a sports car.
