Front Sway Bar Disconnected?

Has anyone disconnected the front sway bar or one side to see what effect it has on the car?

Terrible idea - the front end wandered like crazy over broken pavement and even with my 400# front springs, felt very rolly-polly.

What are you trying to find out?

Front bar is very critical on this chassis. You can disconnect the rear without much ill affects, but not the front.
