Finally snapped my front swaybar on my 2021 Can An X3 after 2600 miles.  Actually surprised is lasted this long.  On my old X3 I broke 2 stock front swaybars, the links a few times, and even an Eibach front swaybar.  Seems they improved the swaybar for 2021.

I think it broke when I sent it a littler farther than anticipated over a riser/transition.  It kicked my car up higher than I thought and off to the side a bit.  Landed on my front drivers side wheel first and I think the impact was enough to snap it.  Interestingly the stock swaybar link did not break.  In the past when I have broken a front sway bar it broke in the middle or in the mounting bushing.  

It has been a while since I have driven a X3 without a front swaybar.  Car likes to push more in the turns and you have to set up for it.   I will be ordering a new one as they are around $80 on Rocky Mountain ATV.

I haven’t had my front bar connected for years.  But I do drive in 4wd all the time.  I like how the car feels when I’m doing some slow rock crawling.

I run in 4wd as well.  On my old car I ran without a front swaybar when Ed "Poundsand" did my shocks.  When Tom Morris did the shocks I put it back on and prefer to run the front swaybar.   

I don't do much rock crawling.  

 
Push on turn in, but oversteer once settled?  Usually the end with more wheel rate will lose grip first since it's loaded more.

I noticed the push in turns more than anything.
