1. Adjustable Swaybars - One or Both Ends? (score: 1)

In a discussion with a local suspension guru the point was made that adjustable swaybars really only need to be adjusted on one end, thus the adjustable bars that have adjusting holes on both ends re

Cool thought, so if you have 3 settings on each end, you really have 9 settings (taking into account all of the permutations). -- John Steczkowski Director, Server I/O Crossroads Systems, Inc. 512-79

Except for the fact that this thought doesn't take into account the fact that most (all?) swaybars use a "lever" as part of their twisting/springing/load-transferring activity, and by moving the moun

He's right. Adjustment only needs to be made on one end. However, adjusting only one side is only half as effective as doing both. For example, lets say a swaybar has adjustment range so that the eff

I have sway bars on the S2000 that are infinatly adjustable. In other words they slide as opposed to using a hole for location. If you lossen only one side, you can't slide it very far without it bin

If the sway bar is attached to the chassis at 2 points that are far apart from eachother and close to the ends in a way that doesn't allow the entire bar to twist, then adjusting just one side will p

Sure you can, but you also need to adjust the length of that drop link (the piece that slides along the bar) so that the preload remains at zero. If you adjust both ends, you generally don't need to

I thought that too, but swaybars transfer a given load (weight) based on their spring rate. In vehicle roll, where the inside of the vehicle rises and the outside of the vehicle drops, the same load

Well... I was wrong. I thought about it some more and was further educated by a couple of replies to my original message. The same holds true for a sway bar in bump too! You only need to adjust one e

Wrong, send the guru back to the mountain cave for some more internal reflection on the matter! Swaybars are cornering springs. Spring rates are force per unit of distance, not just force alone. Your

I'm far from an expert, but in the ideal realm, wouldn't the length of the lever arm be the length of _both_ sides of the swaybar? If you've got: ** * *B * *A Then pushing up B gives you less levera

You make a good point but you're actually ignoring another factor (and I don't know whether it would make matters better or worse). The *suspension* would move three inches on both sides -- or rather

I stayed out of this for awhile, but this is a really good point.... The distance between the pivot point and the end is important, so given that you want the same roll stiffness on left and right tu
