My car has a push at high speed in tight corners. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) It wants to slide the front to the outside of the circle. I need to increase front grip. I was talking to a local car guy here and he told me I should has a big rear sway bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I tend to believe him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) He used to work for the Archer Brothers in their race shop. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) But maybe his theory doesn't apply to middle motor cars. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
Who has experience with this? Show me your sway bars. Specially rear ones. Oh ya, what about tire pressure. I encourage long explainations. But talk to me like I'm a 4th grader. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) |

Rick,
I put factory sway bars on my front and rear....made a huge difference in driving it on the street. Haven't AX it yet...but it sure made a huge difference on normal twisty roads! I've been told you can run with a front sway bar and no rear...but I've always been told not to run with a rear sway bar unless you have a front one installed. |
