Just wondering. Are sway bars heat treated in any way as to influance there performance? Or is there spring/torque just the result of the material itself.
I see a lot of the names here of people who have helped me out over the past year or so. I'm glad I was able to follow the vaccum (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Steve a.k.a. Redbird1 |

But either way, they are usually not "roll cage tubing" if that was the answer you were looking for.
I didn't figure roll cage tubing but I was thinking maybe some kind of basic steel. Now having read what you guys have said, (temper) that makes sense. So if you wanted to make your own bar, what kind of tempering? Any ideaa. I suppose a heat treat place may know. |
