Thanks Bryce. It all makes sense now that we factor in the ability of the steel to absorb some of the energy. Does the steel twist or something? That's hard to imagine.

For the average non-engineering background person like myself, I thought steel, being so hard, would translate 100% of the energy to the other side. I knew I was missing something.

Thanks.

 

LOL, you might be amazed at how easy it is to twist that square steel tube. Just to convince yourself, try disconnecting your sway bar and use a BFW to twist it.

Thanks Bryce I'll try it. What's a BFW?

 

At lease in my garage BWF means BIG F!(*ING WRENCH [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

too much batterstar for you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

that would be frack!

 

Guys take a look at the topic I posted called "Here are the Sportsman sway bar - torsion bar numbers"

Thanks.

 

seems like both would compress but they don't it works like swaybar on a car. it has a small amount of movement but also allows to have better handling. If your worried about it you could always get the swaybar link quick disconnect kit for rock climbing or what not.

 

Yup, my BFW sits right next to my BFH. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
