Yer front sway bar is unattached on the drivers side... Flight damage? Moggy should answer this and then we'll all learn something... I don't actually see evidence that it's connected on either side nor, in, fact, even installed. Antiroll bars work great for keeping the car flat on the road on smooth surfaces. They do this by transferring load from the inner to the outer wheel. This tends to lift the inner wheel (we've all seen it...) which is maybe OK on tarmac but I'm not sure it's a good idea on unprepared surface. And I'm pretty sure you don't want a rally car to understeer, but I don't claim rally prep is my area. |

Thanks for the positive comments guys. The antiroll bar only gets connected when I'm on tarmac stages, and even then on the lowest setting. It's disconnected for everything else. Understeer is something you don't wanna see, EVER, when you have tree's just a few feet away. Oversteer is much easier to control. The front turns in perfectly in control with no antiroll bar, then you just control the rest on the throttle (kinda like drifting). Like this:
