Reply to "Building a front Anti-Sway Bar"

It was definitely a tight squeeze with the straight arms, would have been much easier if I had angled them like you Jim. I'll keep an eye on my shock bolts and couplers for any bending.

I have the front bar at the furthest adjustment out(least anti-sway) and so far so good.

LennyC is building a z-bar for his Vintage(2001). I am unsure if it will work much because as you say the travel is limited. I put down-travel-limiting straps on my axles and am currently trying that out. I took my old 2" lap belts and attached at the top shock bolt. Then wrapped around the axle and the adjuster. They are as tight as I can get them at normal ride height which limits the downward travel to about 3-4 degrees. All in an attempt to completely eliminate that outside wheel tuck.

As an aside, according to QA1(my rear shock manufacturer) there is supposed to be something other than the shock limiting travel. I also have a front shock bushing around the piston rod to cushion the full compression travel.

Kind of a backassward arrangement to mimic the original Spyders travel limiters on the frame.
