Re: [DML] Rear Sway Bar Installation

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Mike - You are absolutely correct in your concern that the portion of 
the frame where the sway bar is attached is too flexible. The 
installation was doing okay until I experienced a hard contact at a 
rough intersection. The saddle brackets for the rear bar contacted 
the pavement, and drove the web of the frame upward about 3/8". I 
have obtained a piece of 5056 plate (aluminum/magnesium alloy) that is 
1/4" thick, and I am in the process of fabricating upper and lower 
reinforcement doublers for the frame web. I am going to move the 
attachment about 1" forward while I am at it. This will correct the 
angle between the vertical link and the end of the bar. I will offer 
up some photos after the modifications are complete.

PS - ARB = Anti Roll Bar (just in case some didn't catch it)
