Adjustable Swaybar
All,
There seams to be some interest in swaybar alternatives so, I thought I would forward one from my own experiences... I have had this design on the
front of my ‘85 Vette for more than 10 years. It is a very simple design for infinite (and quick) adjustablity. The idea is that you machine a “flat”
in the sway bar as long as you can (just shy of the bushings if possible) and then clamp a piece of bar stock with two U clamps on either end. To
adjust, slide one clamp toward the other. The closer they are, the less the bar stock is able to assist, reducing the bars overall stiffness. Simple,
cheap, effective, and reliable.

That'd work! 
I don't know if you saw the pic I tried to post to the other ARB thread, but that one worked by adjusting the effective lengths of the end links
and would probably be cheaper for a builder without access to machine tools.
This one would probably give a wider range of adjustment, though, so could be the safe bet when the builder is not so sure about the amount of
stiffness needed.
Thanks!!
Pete
