soo i was thinking about trying to make a quick disconnect setup for my 94 trans ams front sway bar links. ive seen these all over off road trucks for more flex but never on a street strip car for the launch. does this alrerdy exist? or is this a crazy idea and would weaken the links too much. i want a car i can auto cross one weekend and drag the next without compromising streetability and in these looong new england winters it gives you alot of time to think about crazy ideas like this. tell me what you think

You won't weaken anything. I had quick-disconnects on my XJ, the only issue that is common with ALL of them is they rattle when driving. If you can live with that, then I see no reason why you couldn't make them work.

yea i mean i dont expect it to be a caddilac. how much of a PITA where they to line back up afterwards?

Sublime Dak

Mine were pretty easy, sometimes it's a pain depending on what style you choose. I don't know of any electric disconnects.

Can anyone post pics and or links to where these can be purchased, thanks?

Are the F body end links stud style or do they have an eyelet?

f bodys just kind of sit on the the top of the arm. soo im not exactally shure how i can make it work.

and 97z28ss they dont make them for f bods. or least i cant find them its just an idea i had but if i can find an efficient way of making them ill try and sell them. ...guess this could have been put in the enginering section.

It's not that complicated, here is what the ones I used look like.



You could cut your stock links, then weld a sleeve to one end, the mock it up in the proper location, then drill through the sleeve and link end for the clevis pin.

new wranglers have electronic disconnects, maybe a direction to look into

i looked at the elictronic ones. they split the sway bar in the middle of the car. but leave the links connected ..not shure if this would free the front end or not. any thoughts?

Sublime Dak

It would accomplish the same thing more or less, you won't have quite the same extension since the lower control arm is still bolted to the sway bar, but it would still be an improvement over having it unconnected.

thanks. im thinking the electric setup might be a little to costlly and complicated. im only workin with basic tools and a 1 car garage that i can only borrow from daddys chevelle. sooo i might try to copy off that picture you posted

is it that hard to just unbolt it??

i would leave it on there, just hone out some poly swaybar mounts and install a grease fitting so you can keep them well lubed. this would allow free movement there.
then you can come up with some sort of rod ended endlinks to free up that part of the swaybar.
