b'TECH TIP PAGE Mounting Front Sway Bar KitSMounting Sway Bars on top of the cage bar tubes is common in road racing. We typically use a pillow block (See Red Circle) bolted to the cage bay bar tube.The Sway Bar slides through the pillow blocks. In this Trans Am car to the right, the link is unhooked, but goes down from the arm to the LCA.Over Frame Examples: 1.Bar on top of frame rail with bushings or pillow blocks with sway bar arms out wider than frame rails & links going downward from the sway bar arm to brackets on the front, top or rear of the LCA. 2.Bar on top of frame rail with bushings or pillow blocks with sway bar arms out wider than frame rails & links going up from the sway bar arm to brackets on the front, bottom or rear of the UCA. 3.Bar up a few inches above frame rail with the sway bar arms narrower than the rails for more tire clearance & links going down from the arm to brackets on the front, top or rear of the LCA.4.Bar up a few inches above frame rail with the sway bar arms narrower than the rails for more tire clearance & links going up from the arm to brackets on the front, bottom or rear of the UCA.5.Bar up high above frame rail (possibly on roll cage bay bar tubes) with the sway bar arms whatever width works well & links going down from the sway bar arms to brackets on the front, top or rear of the LCA.6.Bar up high above frame rail (possibly on roll cage bay bar tubes) with the sway bar arms whatever width works well & links going down from the sway bar arms to brackets on the front, top or rear of the UCA.When installing a front sway bar we want the sway bar arm to be level, or running slightly downhill from the sway bar to the end of the arm where the links are.(No more than 1.5 max) The reason is, we typically travel our front suspension in compression under braking much farther than we do on extension.For example we may only extend the front end 1-1.5 from ride height, while we may compress the front end anywhere from 2-4.5 under hard braking.Ideally, we want the sway bar arms to be level in the middle of the travel range, which is often different from ride height. Youll notice in this photo, the rod end linkage forward going down to the LCA in the long hole of the arm & when connected to the short hole, would ideally be leaning rearward the same, but opposite angle. 97'
