Anti-roll (or sway) BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s improve lateral stability without stiffening normal suspension movement. Anti-roll BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s minimize body roll, which stabilizes the tire contact patch for maximum traction. That's important because all of the weight and power of your vehicle is transmitted to the road over a mere handful of square inches called the tire contact patch. Most FWD street cars have moderate understeer (aka "PUSH"). The sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s are designed to improve overall balance by the use of proportionately stiffer rear BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s. The car will have a "neutral" feel, with a gentle push at its limits. The opposite of push or understeer is oversteer. Cars that exhibit this characteristic are said to be "loose" and are prone to spinning.
Compared to the upper strut tower BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI)., which is designed to increase structural rigidity, the rear sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). is designed to prevent body roll from occuring in corners. This reduction of body roll prevents the transfer of weight to the outside edge of your car which can "throw" the rear end outward in a curve (a.k.a. "spinout").
The rear anti-sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). attaches externally to your rear axle through four points. The BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). sits directly underneath the rear axle, and mounts in two spots to the axle using polyurethane bushings and bolts on each of the mounts. The BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). then curves 90 degrees on each side and curves towards the back of the car. The other two mounts attach to the rear spindle assembly near the rear brake drums with a special bracket included with the kit.
J-bodies do not come with a stock rear sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI)., but some models do come with a rear stabilizer BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).. Aftermarket rear sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s work with the stock rear stabilizer BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). (you do not have to remove it).
Aftermarket front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s replace the OEM front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).. If you do not have a stock front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). you need to get the hardware kit off of a Cavalier/Sunfire that does have a stock front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). so the new front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). can be installed.
Anti-sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s also exist for the front axle of the car. Some cars come with them stock; those with the FE1 suspension package comes with an 18mm front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI)., and the FE2 package comes with a 22mm.
You must be careful when adding or changing these BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s, because if the BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). is too large in either the front or the rear, you will introduce either understeer or oversteer. The trick is to find a balance, or "neutral" handling condition, where the car neither "pulls" you inward through the turn nor "pushes" you outward through the turn. Oversteer (or "pulling") is mostly found on rear wheel drive cars, like the F-body. Understeer (or "pushing") is mostly found on front wheel drive cars, like the J-body.
Hellwig used to make a rear 19mm BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI)., which helped to create a more "neutral" handling when added, while keeping your stock front sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).. The new Hellwig BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). is 26mm. RK Sport and JC Whitney sell the Hellwig BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).. ADDCO makes 25mm rear anti-sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s for the J-body. Eibach makes a 22mm rear BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). and a 25.4mm front BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI)., sold together as a package. Mantapart sells a 26mm front BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). and a choice of 22mm or 26mm rear BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI).s. Progress is now making a rear sway BARUnit of pressure. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere, or approximately 14.5 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). (size unknown).
