[Spridgets] [midgetsprite] Rear sway bar

[Weslake1330 at aol.com]

All sounds ok for the front of the car.  On a live axle car it's not  
possible to have static negative camber at the rear.
 
When reading up suspension in most books, especially the new ones you have  
to consider how the live axle works.

OK -  I'll wade in to  this mess... 
Sway bars obviously  reduce body  roll by coupling the suspension on the left 
side of the car to the   suspension on the left.  By design the sway bars 
reduce the  degrees  of body roll by increasing roll resistance without 
increasing  
spring  rate.  In a race car you want to see about 1 to 3  degrees (radials 
differ  from bias plys) negative camber for maximum  traction. Reducing roll  
resistance will reduce traction losses due  to camber change (the heavily  
loaded 
outside front tire will go  positive as the body rolls).
