Default SWAY BAR QUESTIONS

SWAY BAR on rear axle, front wheel drive.

1. What is the actual purpose of the sway bar?

2. Should rear axle be center on the body with the SWAY BAR removed?

3. Can SWAY BAR be used to FORCE axle to be center on body?

Default RE: SWAY BAR QUESTIONS

the rear sway bar transmits some of the cornering load thats on the front tires to the rears, & can really balance a car out, & if too stiff, can make it oversteer while trailbraking into a corner, which i want mine to do one day, since i kinda drive like that, lol
