Until Howard and others "straightened" me out, for 30 years I called 
that bar the tie rod protector. In my case it seemed to serve that 
purpose.

I have home-made extended shackles on my Terra and no sway bar anymore. 
There are some who believe that the bar diminishes articulation 
off-road. Looking at the bar, that kind of made sense to me.
