Need a measurement from a - to 72 Sway Bar
I agree in one sense... That bar is tempered like a spring. It might have a section that gives/bends but who knows how it was engineered / where that "give" section is? I suppose one could place a bent bar beside a unbent bar and learn something. Then it could fly out of a press and injure, straighten while loosing its strength and ability to function as it should. Hell I don't know.
Just thinking you would have been better off if it had broken like torsion bars do.
In another sense... While any stabilizer bar is better than none at all, This particular bar always was a long, skinny, limber timber. Aftermarket vendors offer much better than OEM.
