Does any one have experience (good or bad) with removing Land rover disco S1 sway bars. I am interested in doing this from an articulation improvment persepective.
If this is a wise thing to do, does anyone have knowledge of a disconnect kit that would enable this to be easily completed when you leave the bitchomine and re-connected on hitting the black top?
Thanks

I have a 93 disco and it didn't come with swaybars. So long as your
suspension bushes are in good condition you can drive at highway speeds quite safely.
I have since added a rear swaybar for road use or outback trips when fully loaded and not requiring full articulation.
To disconnect I undo the bolt connections at the axle and rotate the swaybar thru 180 degrees and wire/cable tie it to the chassis. I don't bother reattaching until I have got
home and give the car a bit of a clean.

PS there are many things to increase a disco/rangie's articulation such as LC 80 series shocks in the front and relocated rear shock mounts with suitable matching springs.

Hi, have a look at the post 20386, I wrote it a while ago, so to remove my sway bars on 80 series, I know it´s not the same car, but the info might help.
And for the disconnect thingy, I´ve heard that they are very easy to disconnect, but a pain to reconnect, that´s why I decided to remove the bars completely.
