Default Can someone explain how to do this?

Hi guys! I have always loved how the sway bar is incorporated into the frame instead of just bolting to the frame. I hope that makes sence. Here is a pic of what i am talking about and hopefully someone can explain how it is done. I thought it might be a splined swaybar inside a shaft with some bearings and snap rings so it can't go side to side. Any comments would be much appreciated.

Josh

That is same system as DSE uses in its frames. Regular speedway splined swaybar with greaseble nylon bushings. Aluminium collar rings keep the bar centered and steel or aluminium arms bolts to the splined ends.

I have mine still in pieces - do you want me to take pics to clear it up ?

look up Speedway Motors they have a few kits that will work for this, you have to build the sway bar you buy into the frame, its really easy and agree it looks sick.

I just checked speedway motors and i found this kit. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/4053...sway%20bar It is a universal one but is the style i am looking for. I thought you should always use a splined sway bar. Is that true? I was trying to figure out what those plastic looking things are. Thanks for you help
