[Tigers] Rear Sway Bar

[Michael Wood]

Thanks, Gary. I sometimes can be a little...umm...opinionated? I guess that's always been part of Tigering :)
But, I do spend a fair amount of time on suspension stuff and have done a good amount of testing. Still, I certainly don't know it all and am always open to learning more.

    Well...that was meant to go directly to Dan lol   
   Looks like I've outed myself. But, that's been my experience, YMMV.

      No doubt, a custom made rear bar, preferably adjustable, can be helpful, particularly with a modified front end. Agree, the aftermarket stuff available is not worth buying. Tiger guys tend to just do what others have done before them, I'm afraid. Not a lot of testing or work goes into many decisions and, because most of the cars don't work as well as they could, no one can tell the difference.

      I couldn't find an aftermarket rear sway bar for the Tiger I liked.  And I looked at the DIY weld kits.  But after reading and finding that bending and welding impact metal spring rate and you should temper the bar post fabrication to get it to work correctly.  For the rear end and space I needed to put in bends around the pumpkin and linkages.       
   I do recognize that welded options will also work well.  My Mustang II front end from Mike H has a welded bar.  But for the rear packaging, I needed too many bends and couldn't locate a straight bar type in the space.   In the end, I went with a custom-built from https://www.carolinaswaybar.com/ It was a premium price but they were great to work with.    
   Maybe in the next decade I'll get enough motivation to finish and drive the car to see how good my choices were.
