Default Sway bar connected vs disconnected...

Was checking my brake lines, breathers, and locker/abs lines for slack and shot a few pics while flexing today. Tonight I noticed that I had near identical pics of the front swaybar connected and disconnected. When I was first checking the lines I forgot to disconnect, so I backed up and approached the same spot again with the swaybar disconnected. It's a pretty noticeable difference and just thought it would be interesting to post them...

Swaybar Connected...



Swaybar Disconnected...

I also found these 2 pics from the front angle. These are not in the exact same spot but they are both max flex from similar angles. The difference seems less pronounced in this angle...

It's the same spot in the first pics. I just wasn't using a tripod, hand holding the camera. I wasn't trying to get these as comparison pics, they were just a coincidence so the camera angle is slightly different.

Look at the grass along the bottom right side of the pics. There is a yellowish/orangeish clump halfway along the bottom of the grass section showing in both pics right of the front tire. It's the same in both pics.
