haha I've had the same question recently

Gee oh Dee

Are you serious?

projectmayhem

A sway bar attaches the front or rear lower control arms together exerting force to the opposite wheel in cornering situations improving tire grip. Most wheelers disconnect these bars because it compromises suspension travel in offroad situations.

anyone add to this or correct me if im wrong as I am also new to this jeep world.

Not so new to suspension teq. Tho

^ Like he said, it's makes it harder to roll over, although the rear sway bar is 99% useless, leaf springs are enough... I'll see if I can get a pic for you.

Here, highlighted the front sway bar-

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of my rear before I removed the rear sway bar...

sthon

Did you actually highlight your sway bar? Doesn't look like you edited the picture...

Thats funny I saw this last night and didn't post since I was pretty sure you were joking. I figured a guy that has the fab skills you do knew what a sway bar was. lol

I was biting my tongue and I'm curious how newbzers works since it's attached to the control arms. Strangest one I've seen was on a scout. It was a piece of flat stock that bolted to both front shackles and it was stock.
