Default Is it ok to drive without front bottom swar bar?

I was wondering if it would be OK if I drive my car after taking my front bottom sway bar off on my Accord? I am replacing the bushings but I am waiting for them to arrive.

you should be fine. there are plenty of guys who remove the front sway while on the track b/c they prefer the back end swinging out a bit. just take it easy during turns, or you might find your rear end sliding out on you.

btw, there's only 2 sway bars: front and rear. there's no top sway bar.

removing the front sway bar is common on autox accords...i know some people who have removed them on the street, and then immediantly put it back on because the car became much more unpredictable.....

rather than remove the front, get a larger diameter rear, and use polyurethane bushings

he said it's just temporary anyway, just while he removes the old bushing and waits for the new ones to come in. personally, i'd just wait for the new ones to come in before doing anything, but that's just me.
