Re: Pro-Touring S10
The Front Sway Bar. Here's some info for ya. If you put a 335-30-18 on an S10, and actually turn the steering wheel, there is NO room for the stock style sway bar. None. So we tried to fit a splined bar in the stock location, - nope. Then we tried going under the lower arm, -nope. So, we tried this. It fits, yes. After the first test drive, the bar doesnt have enough effect on the suspension. I think we need to move the link and arm mount outboard, Right now it is at appx 50% out on the upper arm, not enough motion ratio. The bar is made of 1 3/8" x .188 wall DOM, with end cap plates welded on. the bar was then heat treated to normalize it. I have never done tthis before so it's a learning curve. I read a whole bunch about doing this, so we'll see. The arms are simple 3/8" plate steel cut out to fit, and bent in a press. Delron bushings and rod end links.
