Just mounted my front swaybar this weekend (actually my 13-year old son who
I'm very proud of did it, but I've already covered that...) and can say that
the result sure feels like it has added some gegree of oversteer. The end
result is a far better feel - much more like what I've been looking for. Did
I mention I'm proud of my son?

I think that one consequence of the front bar reducing body roll is also to
enable the whole tub to remain flatter through the corners. Thus keeping
both the rear wheels in better contact with the road and less inclined to
lift an inside wheel and slide out at the back.
So this does have an influence on the degree of rear oversteer.

The front bar doesn't reduce oversteer. It reduces front wheel camber
change caused by front roll. The rear oversteer is still their.

Thus, most run a front bar only to reduce oversteer and bring on more
neutral handling.
