Phil hope this helps
Swaybar - anti-roll bar
Spindles - Something upon which something else turns, Stub axle
Rods - Connecting rods (from crankshaft to piston)
Headers - Exhaust headers. Tubular steel passages that replace the exhaust
manifold in performance applications.
Squirly - Nervous or Twitchy, (as in handling). Unpredictable. From the
Squirrel's habit of moving in quick, jerky, and fearful fashion.
