I would appreciate your wisdom with swaybars.
I just installed an Addco swaybar, and it occurred to me that ideally the relationship between bar and link assembly should be 90 degrees so as to extend life of the rubber bushings....Addco instructions do not say anything.
In another post, from PeterK's swaybar picture, it looks like his Tr4a Addco bar is not perpendicular to the link , but maybe 110 degrees. It seems that if less or more than 90 degrees , the bar would compress the bushings beyond what is ideal, shortening their lives. Does anyone know what should be the relationship between bar and link, or are they installed as one can with the asymetrical nature of each car ?
Is my intuition missing something? Or is this issue even significant?
Thanks for reading considering this message.
