Samurai Buggy Rear Sway Bar

[Kiel]

Well I installed the rear sway bar I got this week today. No more body roll!
I"ll test it out tomorrow and let you guys now how it turns out.

What diameter and length did you choose? I'll bet it makes you happy....

 

[Greg]

Where'd you get it? I'm intrested to see what kind of improvements you see in reguard to the 'feel' of the suspension. Looks like a very useful addition.

I believe it's a 27 inch version. I decided to run it off the axle and up to the frame instead of the norm because of clearence issues. I used to be able to grab my rocker guards and lift the whole body up about 2 feet, now I get stuffed at about 4-5 inches. I had wicked body roll where I almost flopped it several times on just slightly off camber situations coming off obsticles. I got it at RL from seth for a great price and he helped with the mounting ideas I'll let you know how it performs for testing tomorrow:greg:

So here are some result photos. Everything worked great, we will have to see how it holds up. Excuse the poser shot

 

[Herzog]

Very nice! I actually like how you axle mounted it. That would be something I would have to do because of the lack of space.

 

[Kiel]

Yeah it worked out good because its really the only way IU have sapce and clearence to do it. I was worried I broke it the main torsian bar or whatever by how much it flexes, but it was fine.

I like it. Got any pics of the mounting point on the frame?

 

[Kiel]

It just came with some shock like tabs that I flat mounted to the frame with the eyelit on top between the top of the frame and the bed floor. I'll try to snap one tomorrow. The links came in 1 3 foot section you cut to length with weld in rod ends for the 1/2 inch thread joints.
