Wait a minute, this isn't right, is it? 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 the effective
stiffness. If you move the mounting point to the pivot point, you get
no deflection, no mechanical advantage and the bar does nothing.
