[Tigers] Sway bar

[Theo Smit]

Hi Mark,
Stock Car Products (http://www.stockcarproducts.com/susp21.htm) use 4140 
steel for their bars. They'd probably have all the other widgets 
available if you chose to go that way... their bars are apparently 37 
1/2" end to end, which would probably be borderline too wide for Tiger 
applications. They might do custom splining if you needed a narrower one.

When I was on a budget I made sway bars from 1020 cold rolled solid 
steel bar, bent using an acetylene torch. I never had one bend or break 
but since it was a race only application the cycles-to-failure limit was 
not approached. A friend who drove his swaybar (made in the same way) on 
the street had it fail after several years. With a bar like that you'd 
have to consider that it might take a permanent set if you ever hit a 
big pothole.
