| I just found out that I broke the rear sway bar on my RZR at the spring ride. I was hoping to ride this weekend at 5 Points but I can't get a sway bar in time, nobody has them in stock. Will it hurt anything to ride this weekend without the rear swaybar? Thanks!!!! | |

| I've got 3400 miles on mine and this is the first to break. Should I make any kind of shock adjustment? All I can adjust is the preload. | |

| lots of people run with it off. you will be fine. if you have a lift flip the sway bar over and it will not break as bad. |

| Just curious, where on the bar did it break? I have flipped my bar because of improved ride height (and made heavier swaybar links) and never had an issue ('08). I'd be very careful on high speed turns without one. | |

| It broke about two inches from the bushing, just past the bend on the passenger side. The sway bar was actually rusted up pretty bad under the paint. I'm gonna watch the high speed stuff this weekend. Hopefully i'll get the feel for how it's gonna handle pretty quick. | |

| I've been riding mine for almost 2 years without one now. I don't use a front sway bar either. But i do have the HOTRODRHINO aka (JBS) shock package to make things coooll. The way i have my shocks adjusted, they counter-acted my extra body roll. There is still some, but not as much as their is with stock shocks. Stock shocks suck. My shocks are set up probably a little stiffer than someone running at least a front sway bar, and definitely alot more stiff than someone running front and rear bars. high preload and rebound. I ended up this way due to a broke swaybar that i decided to not put on so i could get a little better articulation action. Stock sway bars limit the travel you have availabe at each wheel. Just as everyone else has said though, get very used to it and the feel before you do very much high speed running into turns. | |

| I took the rear sway bar off the Rhino, and in rough terrain it stayed much more level, and kept the tires on the ground a lot better without it. The bad.....in high speed corners, it wanted to go straight intead of turning, and with a little more body roll too. And, the rear suspension was much softer. I would say the same thing would be true with a rzr. You will get used to it, but I bet you will want it back due to your driving style. | |
