RE: sway bar (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:45:15 -0800; You can do that, but it's usually easier to move the mounting point inward on the bar to get the effect of a heavier bar. And yes, it's the same reason that the little kid moves to the farthest away; /html/fot/2005-03/msg00258.html (8,276 bytes)

If you move the mounting point outward, the bar has a better mechanical advantage and will deflect more for a given amount of sway. Both factors will increase; /html/fot/2005-03/msg00263.html (8,146 bytes)

Re: sway bar (score: 1): Author: Tony Drews <tony@tonydrews.com>; Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 07:37:38 -0600; Inward on the bar (shorter arms) or outward on the suspension (closer to the wheel, arm length unchanged) both make the anti-sway bar appear stiffer. Both have the effect of twisting the bar more for; /html/fot/2005-03/msg00265.html (8,517 bytes)

RE: sway bar (score: 1): Author: Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>; Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 07:06:17 -0800; If you move the bar mounting point inwards, you decrease the mechanical advantage of the lever arm, so it requires more force to move it, making the bar stiffer. No different from using a short wrenc; /html/fot/2005-03/msg00268.html (9,196 bytes)

Bill, you must mean moving where the link attaches to the bar closer to where the bar pivots on the frame, right ? To me, the "bar mounting point" would be where the bar mo; /html/fot/2005-03/msg00269.html (7,743 bytes)

In a circle track car the sway bar IS a spring, but you get a lot of useful weight transfer from it.
