LXi Front Anti-Sway Bar

[david brady]

Jon,

I did speak to BB service personel explaining my experience. The
service folks had no issue with removing the bar regarding vehicle
handling dynamics. I want to emphasize that I removed the bar, not BB.
There's no question that the handling is "looser", but not excessively
so. I'd guess that it's much like any of the "bar-less" Wide Bodies.
The problem with the 2.125" bar is that in a corner, it holds up the
entire bus as opposed to working in conjunction with rear roll
stiffness. The rear of the bus has quite a bit of roll stiffness built
in. The stock front bar makes the LXi corner with virtually no lean. I
don't want a front bar to hold up the entire bus - way too stiff; it
almost eliminates independent front wheel motion.
