sway bars
was at the local dump a couple days ago and noticed a really heavy duty looking sway bar in the metal pile, It is a gm product, I'm guessing to have come off a grain truck or some other solid front axle truck. Needless to say its fairly beefy! in fine condition. I want to use it for the rear of my truck and I have figured out a pretty slick way to mount it behind my rear axle. Wondering though if I should figure out a way to make up for the radial deflection, since the arc of the susp and the arc of the sway bar are opposite, will the bushings take up this movement, or will I end up with a really harsh ride from the suspension binding? The sway bar has eyes on the end that a bolt and rubber bushings would go through and the bar will be attached with rubber bushings to the frame. Any ideas? previous experience? Does anyone have a setup from a place like early classic, how is it mounted and how much of a handling improvement did you notice? Phew! lots of questions but hopefully I'll get this figured out, and have a truck that handles as good as it goes! I'll post some pics when it's all done
Thanks Jesse
