[Fot] sway bars

[Kas Kastner]

Stiffening the rear suspension on a beam axle car is a delicate situation as 
you have no provision for negative camber (well, yes you can, but tapering 
axle splines, bending the housing and all that is a chore) and thus getting 
bite on the rear suspension is generally  making it softer not harder which 
a rear bar will do.  There are a couple of fellows that have done this rear 
bar mod and been very successful, but it does take a bunch of testing to get 
it right. Dearching the rear springs is a start, then having the rear bar 
adjustable can give a few more options in handling for various courses.
