* With a front only swaybar: The front swaybar keeps the fronts wheels planted which allows a loose or oversteer condition.
* With a rear only swaybar: The rear swaybar keeps the rear wheels planted and allows a tight or push or understeer condition.
* The other component is the swaybar bushing and the material it is made of. The harder or less flexible material the bushing is made of the more active or effective the swaybar is.
* The other component is the size or diameter of the swaybar. The greater the diameter the more active the swaybar is.
* If you want to take the time and a couple dollars you can tune the swaybars for trucks suspension and your style of driving. I had a 92 Camaro that was sensitive to traction to say the least. 32mm front swaybar with PST red poly bushings and a 7/8" rear swaybar. For the rear I used rubber bushings during warm dry weather and poly bushings during cold wet weather. Surprising what a bushing can do to a short wheel base light vehicle.
