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 |

The old Herb Adams bars were 4340 steel (although he recommended 4140 also) . Heat treat the bar to Rockwell C-35.
