Front sway bar removal

[The Englishman]

Anyone give any insight into how a challenger behaves on the street with the sway bar removed please?

I've driven my RE a bit with the sway bar removed and it hardly notices it's not there. I typically take it off before going to the races and put it back on shortly thereafter. In my mind it works the shocks harder to keep the car flat around corners and the last thing I want to do is wear out those high $ shocks.

Thanks Bo,does it take long to take out,do you do it on a lift?

 

[TNREDEYE]

It's easy and quick. I use my race ramps, they get it high enough but just barely.
Once I learned the 3 or 4 sockets/wrenches I need to do it I just keep them together in a box so I don't have to go through that every time. Once you've done it once it's probably a 15 min job. The first time will take you a bit longer.

Thanks For the info,I’m going to the track this Friday so may take it off👍

mines been off over a year an notice no difference. I`m sure I would notice on a circuit track but that`s not going to happen. straight line for me.

Post the part number and weigh it

I`ve been told 24 lbs. with links.

I took mine off a couple weeks ago & went to the track once so far & didn't notice much difference at the track, the weight savings is nice. On the street it's not bad either as long as you don't go in to corners very fast. Normal driving you will forget it's not on the car.

Definitely different driving manners but only when the car is pushed. Mine has been off for a while with a lot of daily and track runs. I don’t feel the need to put it back on. Obviously strut tuning will make it ride different but I’m running the demon drag mode like you.

Thanks for the replies I’m taking mine off tomorrow for a ninety mile drive to the track so if I don’t post after Friday you’ll it didn’t work for me .😬

I drive 60 miles (1 hour) each way to my track, you should be fine, just don't take sharp turns or corners real fast.

Mine weighed 11lb 6oz

Was that with all the hardware included?

 

[The Englishman]

Yes, that was everything , I thought it would be more than that, easier than dieting tho🤔

 

[The Englishman]

Here’s the part number

 

[vortecd]

I didn't realize it was a Demon. That is the 221 Demon, 1320 sway bar

 

[TNREDEYE]

My sway bar assy weighs around 25 lb complete. I knew the Demon bar was a good bit lighter, it's nice to know the exact weight.

Hope you had fun at the track.

 

[The Englishman]

Great fun, it was a mustang meet with a few challengers throw in to make the numbers up .
