[Fot] sway bars

[Bill Babcock]

Now that I've lost my skid pad (industrial park was sold) I'm going to  
have to pay a lot more attention to suspension modeling. A sway bar is  
such an important element of handling. In the past I've fiddled with  
the adjustment a lot and it's easy to see on a skid pad how much it  
affects understeer and oversteer. I never cared about how much the  
nose or tailed rolled, I just care how fast I can go around that  
circle. You can transition from understeer to neutral to oversteer  
with just a little sway bar adjustment. I don't know how a bar could  
just be bolted on and work right.
