Reply to "thicknees of front sway bar"

The camber compensator attaches under your Transaxle via four bolts, and then attaches to the axle tubes out near the end of your straight axle tubes. They are usually made of flat metal with "sprung" ability to flex without breaking and are clamped at the axle ends with metal straps, much like u-bolts would. The center section bolted to the Transaxle bottom serves as the stationary point for the whole compensator bar. It acts like a big spring to keep the axles tubes above horizontal. An absolute must for all swing axle cars. You'll be impressed by the improvement in handling. It works by greatly reducing the amount of positive camber the inside rear wheel goes into when cornering. You can throw your car into the turns with a lot more confidence than you ever could previously. Works great when combined with the front sway bar, George often sources a great article on suspension upgrades on the Cal Look forum. Look it up, you'll get some ideas from that excellent article.

For two types of Camber Compensators, look at CB Performance online and most of the other majors (California Pacific is a good source) for the other one. The type I use is the one you will find at the California Pacific Web Site.

Hope this helps.
