Can I have The Front Sway Bar Off?

Can I take off the front say bar link off for a few days? What can possibly happen when I take it off? Its only from the passenger side. Please help me with any insight.

Thanks

Sure, you can take it off, it just won't corner as crisply as before.

^ exactly. Mines been off since I did my exhaust swap over a year or two ago and its all fine. Another thing, its just a lot looser up front- there is a little more flex when pulling into driveways really slow. I know everyone says swaybars dont strength the frame when they are on, and dont decrease stength when they are off but it was noticeable enough.

Thanks guys.... Its just that one of my friends is a mechanic and he's gonna do the timing belt and clutch on it and when he got underneath the car, he pointed out that the passenger side sway bar link moves, and that it can possibly be solution to a noise issue i've had for years.

On the passenger side sway bar end, the link that connects to the chassis, it moves from side to side.

Side to side how? There is supposed to be some play in an endlink- its not fixed like a bracket. hard to tell if this is normal or abnormal from your description. If your mechanic says its messed up tho, its cheap enough to replace and see if the sound goes away. With your bar being off has it gone away?
