So to make this point I made a simple representation that I think we can all understand. You can thank my Nephew for having some sweet toys to help this make more sense. Uneven spring rate will be the result if you run uneven holes. Consider this photo to be the far hole in the swaybar being loaded with the longer leverage arm. ![]() Now, consider this to be the close hole loaded and the shorter leverage arm. ![]() Notice they are not equal? Because effective resistance is not equal across the bar. I hope this helps to convince you that handling will be different left to right. -Your Pal Fishey Last edited by Fishey; 11-26-2012 at 01:40 PM. |

If you think they do then feel free to prove me wrong with some sort of proof. The example used has differing side to side lengths, and a consistent load. The only thing it is missing from the suspension in terms of physics in the ability to lift the unloaded side of the chassis/carrier because I have it weighed down beyond what the load can lift and its solid mounted. If I felt like dealing with Internet knowledge that hard I could put coil springs on my example and show you the effect it would have on chassis roll and that would only further prove a side to side difference. -Your Pal Fishey |
