I'm thinking of removing the front sway bar on my truck for more flex and less noise (for some reason my truck eats through end links like nobodys business) I know this works well on some vehicles and not so well on others. Anyone know what I should expect with no front sway bar? Obviously more body roll in corners, but if it's not too excessive that should be fine.. I drive rather granny like. My main concern is how it reacts on the highway.

A sway bar sticks down the end of the car it's not attached to. So removing the front sway bar is likely to increase
oversteer.

Well I did it, and after a thorough road test I'm very impressed. The body roll was noticable but very minimal in my opinion. highway lane changes felt the same as before. All in all I should have done this in the first place instead of burning through all those stabilizer bushings and wasting all that money.
