just made probably the worlds cheapest sway bar. Parts cost was about 4 dollars. I used my stock 16mm sway bar on my wagon, welded on brackets, and then welded a 1" hollow bar from bracket to bracket. I will get some pictures up sunday.

I took it out for a test drive, going around many 90 degree turns.. and DAMN.. this thing has like 0 sway in turns.. much flatter than my old 21 mm turbo bar that I was using for a while. My sister doesn't even know what a sway bar is, but when she was in the car.. she could definatly feel that the car was much flatter in turns, sicne when i turned into my neighborhood very sharply, there was almost no sway.

I can't belive how well this worked out. I will be testing it out this weekend to see if I can break it. I really overdid the welds so they shouldn't break during my test runs hopefully But if this works out.. u can bet that I will be showing everybody on here how to make there own rear 240 sway bars any size they want.. like 25mm-55mm , for under 10 dollars.

I will keep all of you guys posted.

Kevin
