Temp Disconnect Rear Tarett Sway Bar Drop Link

Appreciate any suggestions. This should be simple but i dont want to inadvertently mess up any alignment. I want to temporarily disconnect just one side drop link front and rear just to see how much chatter/roughness my 22mm sways are contributing on crappy roads. Question is for the rear. I was going to just disconnect the upper end of the drop link from my elephant racing spring plate, loosen the lower drop link, thats attached to sway bar elbow/arm, so it will rotate a little and I can then zip tie the drop link to the sway bar arm/elbow, just so it doesn't get in the way of anything while driving. I then realized the upper drop link attaches to the spring plate where you make toe adjustment i think. Pretty sure it uses a new eccentric bolt from tarett in that hole. If i undo this am I going to screw up some rear toe adjustment? And i assume i cant leave it undone either. So i should probably just disconnect the lower drop link from the sway elbow? and just let the drop link dangle from the spring plate temporarily while i drive? If a better way to quickly/temporarily disconnect rear sway im open ears. The front thru body sway seems easier given drop links only attached to u tab and way bar elbow. Thanks

Easiest to just disconnect the rear drop link at the bottom, zip tie it out of the way.
You can mark and remove the toe bolt, and reinstall in the same position with no problem. If you haven't loosened any of the other bolts the toe won't change.
