rear sway bar

removed it Friday off 08 700, ride is 100% better set shocks {rear} up 2 notches.But now when going down a steep rough section the rear area makes a thump and a slight pause.On take off and any thing else it does great ,is this comon once you remove the sway bar its almost like you can fell a tire slipping.Looked at bolts to rear and can't find any thing loose any input

gary mine does it to. i removed the swaybar and the rear shocks rebound up to the top of the travel really fast. it makes that thump. its like there is no rebound dampning on the rear shocks they just plain suck.yamaha should have left that junk on there golf carts. i just got my front progressive shocks last week and i'm going to order the rear this week.

thanks so much you have made my week ,was really afraid the rear diff was going bad thanks again

keep an eye on the bolts in the rear diff support. on the older rhinos they get loose and will break the mount.

oh ya. i will check mine tomorrow the torque is 51 ft lbs if anybody needs it i will jack the thing up and check all the hard mounting points. bush

checked all bolts on diff's and suspension all are tight. new shocks will be ordered next week.

Haven't heard that on mine but I have a little different shock set up than you guys have. The ride was a lot better without it. Did a good bit of riding this weekend to. Can't fly around corners as fast like I could before but the ride inprovment was well worth it.

I took mine off last weekend. The first thing I did was go down a rough long hill, the noise from the shocks almost made me turn around and go put it back on. But, once I got in some technical stuff, I realized it made a huge improvement. It seems to stay more level now, the rear tires move independantly, instead of the thing leaning with the rearend like it used to. And the ride is alot smoother. I did notice it does have some understeer now. Bottom line.....it's not going back on, I like it.

The sway-bar delete has been around for a while. I have been without mine for almost a year. Articulation is 110% improved. But I can't say how it is with the black-springed stockers. I could see it would do a little more leaning with them, the spring-rate is way lower than the Sport-rezzies or what I run, Fox 2.0's. Just turn the pre-load up a little to decrease the body-roll, top-notch, and all will be good!!!
The bone-stockers, as somebody said, are not much better than golf-cart shocks.
Horribly valved and sprung, and way too soft. EPI makes some replacement springs for the stockers, or the Progressives, if you are not too agressive, are a good option.
