most people just use bungie cords to secure the sway bar out of the way. it's quick easy and cheap. if in a pinch, zip ties work too.

Secure the swaybar in its normal position, not up. With the links removed, those big pins will shred the tires when turned/flexed if the bar is up.

Nope, but I have one disconnected and 'not' strapped in place. I didn't actually know about the problem until I posted this pic and got a bunch of replies about shredded tires. You can see how the pin at the end of the swaybar is placed perfectly to catch the side of the tire.



I lost two tpms sensors that day, but luckily I did not lose a tire!
