Thread: 53 Is back from the Body Shop

Tweet

My front sway bar on the Jeep has the transverse part of the bar mounted atop the frame rails to the front, in front of the grille and the two extension bars then point back towards the axle and connect via sway bar links that are about 6" to 8" long. My links are after market, easy to disconnect from the pin that comes off of the coil spring mounting pad, for off-road runs for more articulation. My point here is that I think it's more common for the bar to be fixed at the frame, with the "ears" connected to the axle, which acts more like a torsion bar, twisting the sway bar across it's length. If you fix the bar to the axle, the motion of your axle is going to tend to bend the ear vs twisting the bar, especially on speed bumps or dips in the highway where both wheels move together, seems to me.
