KeymasterRemoving the rear anti-roll bar will affect the handling of the car. It will increase the tendency to understeer (significantly) and lower the responsiveness of the car to steering inputs. This is not necessarily unsafe, but you might not like the results. This will be noticed when cornering.

ParticipantI ended up removing the sway bar and didn’t notice much difference in the handling to reinstall the bar at this point.

ParticipantI have another question Dave. I’ve mentioned before that I wanted to be a project manager but now I’m doing things other then cars, but still involves the same principles. I wanted to ask you, you being an engineer, how do you pitch ideas to get it passed, without it being dismissed. I have met a fellow engineer from a local coffee shot and shot him some ideas about other engineering subjects but he’s gotten to a point where he won’t listen to new ideas.

KeymasterSorry to hear that your ideas are not being considered. Either your ideas are not technically valid (his POV) or he is just the wrong person for you to engage on the subject with. Did he tell you why?

ParticipantLooking back, he probably wasn’t the right person and my idea just wasn’t feasible in his POV as you said. It was all in an informal and friendly setting but since he was an electrical engineer for very respectable companies, I wanted to run the idea through him anyways. I’m more of a generalist than a specialist which is what he was and I believe that was where the clash was.
