hi all,

i will be making sway bars for my car soon.  i need to design the bars as
well as the attachment points.  i have some ideas, but if anyone is nice
enough to peek under my car sometime i will be happy to hear some other
ideas.

speedway engineering sells materials to make sway bars.  these included
splined bars and various arms.  is there any reason to use this fancy stuff?
how are hollow bars bent?

can i predict and then measure the actual rate of my bars after i am done?
i am thinking that the main contributing measures are: torsional stiffness
of bar, length of the bar, length of the lever arm from the centerline of
the bar.

thanks!
