Title: Articulation?
Post by: RustyRed on August 08, 2005, 07:27:26 AM

Hey,
I noticed that some of you that off-road you GVs are getting some decent articulation. I have a question about that, I know that I could probably get some extra articulation in the rear by disconnecting the anti-sway bar. My question is: did you leave the bar that attaches the top of the struts and goes over the motor (not sure what this bar is called)??? This bar makes the front end more stable but probably doesn't help in the articulation department.
So should it stay or should it go?

That is a strut tower bar.  It stiffens the front end but has very little to do with front articulation.  I would leave it on.  Removing the front sway bar will help articulation.  The best way to increase articulation would be with a lift.
