Simple question, until I started thinking about it.
We all know sway bars prevent BODY roll by bracing one side against the other. But do they actually make it more difficult to roll over or flip your Xterra off road...or do sway bars simply make you FEEL less off camber in the cab?
I have both sway bars removed, and the Xterra is definitely flexy and has quite a bit of body roll. But even if the body is rolling, the axle and suspension/frame are still firmly planted with the additional flex.
The flip side (ha.ha...flipping on the side...get it?!) , is if I had both sway bars installed, I would not feel the body roll because of the sway bars, but the suspension would flex less, so my tires would come off the ground sooner if I am of camber.
What do you guys think?
