89sheebeater Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hey guys new to the fourm and wanting to get Ito flat track. I'm a machinist and have any cnc/manual lathe/ mill at my disposal. I was just wondering what you Guys are making that actual sway bar out of. And where you guys are mounting them. Thanks for any help in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 As a machinist, I'm assuming you have some grasp of metallurgy. Look for something known for high tensile and memory. That said, I'm not sure what my Rath's torsion bar is made of, but I think with a little research, you could find a nice piece of bar stock. For the same of ease, use something that has an outer diameter that fits inside a metal/carbon fiber tube. Mounting can be done any where, but IMO the lower the better if you're fabbing it. Guys are using the A arm bolt holes with brackets for the tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89sheebeater Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah that's what I was thinking but what diameter are you guys using. What kind of mounts are you using soild to the frame or like a polyurethane bushing type mount like a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
711jrp Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 4130 will be fine, tube would be better than solid, od.and thickness is down to each set up and driver style.Make it in a way so it is easy to swap for a different spec one without having to rebuild the whole system.

superfastyfz450driver Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 On my quads I used sway bar arms from a 99 zrt 800 sled with the plastic bushings from it also. I used 5/8ths square shaft and it works perfect. Here is a photo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfastyfz450driver Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 It mounts off the back of the upper front control arm bolt and the front of the lower control arm bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
