Title: Front Sway bar (adjustable) for Wide track Suspension? Good source?
Post by: Simple Man on September 10, 2018, 12:29:59 PM

Does any one have a source that they have used for a custom/adjustable sway bar for an 87 fiero?  I need a longer one :LL: as you can see in the pictures.

The alignment of the sway bar with the mounting point is off.  To compensate for this the Rodney Dickman Zero lash end links were purchased... to make do, even though Rodney Dickmans install pic say they should be aligned.

If the alignment issue wasn't bad enough another problem is the end of the sway bar is hitting/rubbing on the coil over. :LL:

Thanks!

I use this: https://www.welderseries.com/-p49762034 (https://www.welderseries.com/-p49762034)  Universal.  My whole chassis is custom, so these can fit many applications.

Found this for calculating the sway bar spring rate, will be useful, I think, if it somewhat correct ::toothy
