hi all, just wondering what effect removing the front swaybar would have on a sierra, i know in landcruiser's it turns it into a real mission to drive, but what about with these little sierras? Jordan |

Makes a bit of difference if pushed hard around roundabouts etc but hardly anything to normal onroad driving. If you're driving normally you probably won't notice it. |

I've pulled the front swaybar off a 98 Holden Rodeo, a 2000 Suzuki GV and my current 88 Sierra, and haven't really noticed the difference on any of them... Then again, I'm not a crazy driver that likes to take corners at 120kph... |

We just pulled the sway bar off our 94 (SJ70) and it has made little difference to the Handling, but made a big difference to the wheel exstension. Great for off road. |

And still accelerate ( if you want to call it that) it's a little slow to accelerate from there but can still go faster |

Seriously, I do not want to even think about that sort of speed in a short wheel base suzi, I would be shit scared, speed for me is a designed fast car, not a designed serious off roader. Even if my suzi could go fast, 80-90 is fast enuf. Big wheels, big lift, no sway bar, naa fuk speed in that. |

Sorry lumpa I got the noobs fighting to say mine is faster
Alot of people run no swaybar. Handling onroad is slightly changed. Slightly as in poofteenth of a bees dick. Oh. And will be illegal. But no one will notice unless your called over the pits. |

my old 1.3L engine with nothing but some exhaust work and 215/75r15's got me to 160km/hr (well, where it would be on the speedo if it was there) once... i even got the speeding fine to prove it! That aside - i wasnt running a swaybar in mine either, understeered a bit more on sharp bends but nothing too drastic changed. |

Yeah, i pulled my sway bar out about a month ago. Nothin changed at all, but i figured the hard-as-fuck springs were to blame. Slightly more ?articulation? in ruts, but the shockers fully extend at about normal ride height anyway.. Haha, got the needle halfway through the M on KM/h. Downhill, naturally. |

fuck that. best ive ever done in mine is 120km/h downhill... mind you, 225,000km no rebuild, all stock under the hood, and thicker oil than most (seems to run smoother & quieter) |

ahhh cmon you havent lived (or risked death?) unless you've taken a sierra off its speedo, just imagine: rocketing across the ground in a tin can with the aerodynamics of a loaf of bread and handling of a billy cart all the while being deafened by the howl of tyres, screaming engine and wailing gearbox =) |
