So if your shocks have crappy travel don't bother removing your sways because that won't make a bit of difference.

Are you sure about that? I just went down and looked at my removed one. Looks like bar stock that was formed and the ends flattened and drilled. Anyway, I would just remove them and leave them off, but it is up to him.

yes, otherwise as you pointed out... it would have deformed. the shape doesnt necessarily determine the material.
these things go through thousands/millions of cycles (much like your springs) and need to not fatigue or deform.
unless rover does it differently than every other car ive ever seen...

Steel start off as molten and is either poured into slab or bar and processed from there. Springs are made from bar. If it distorted or flipped as he reported and is "close to what it was" before it flipped and rode with one side lower than the other, then it has seen stresses beyond what it was designed to see. It may not be obvious to the naked eye, but there are internal stresses. The questions are "how bad were they? ""Will it tend to return to that same flipped over position again more readily" "Who really cares, ain't mine"?
But since I have the one I removed, which is still in original form, I will gladly ship it to you for the cost of shipping and a small Rum Tax Surcharge.
Send me your address if you would like my removed one.
