I didn't know you could disconnect the sway bars in the Trailhawk. How do you do it?

i allways thought that there was too much motor car and not enough tyre in stock trim, my theory has now been proven... if your serious about your offroading go the bigger treads the thing would just about drive anywhere.
just wanted to share the love for the TRAILHAWK
(i know the rocket bangs and clangs when topped right out but having some time under my belt iv'e learnt what it likes and does not)
am keen to disconnect the sway bars next time to see if she keeps her head down a bit
Hey Micko, how noisy are those bad boys? Does the car still drive as nice? Would you recommend them as daily driver tyres or swap them over for off road?

Hi Mattajeeper, I have been under the car quiet a bit and believe
That it would be easy enough to remove the
"Dog bone" links from the sway bar itself
Then when hitting the ruff stuff then simply put em back on when you get to the blacktop... It "looks" that easy I will have a play in the coming weeks to see if it works

G'day Trailhawk,
they are a bit noisier on the smoother types of bitumen
My plans are to have them on some dedicated rims and just run some
A/T on the standard rims for every day driving.
As for they're on road behaviour I am impressed no issues other than putting
The speedo out by two kph (would get that with any brand)
