You must take risks to do great things.
Id rather die atempting something great than live an average life.

I never claimed to cure cancer. But I know what I am talking about when it comes to suspensions. Design driveline for the Big 3 is what I do for a living. Unlike yourself.

Just cos no one has strapped an Exocet missle to the back so that can "fly" doesn't mean it's a good idea either, does it?

What have you done of mention lately, seeing as you think my design of a performance swaybar for the CDW27 platform is, in your eyes, comical?

Go play with some lit dynamite sticks, assclown.

I would rather you die attempting something great than kill somebody attempting something stupid..

Unless you are a master welder don't don't bother making one. Stazi made a sway bar
and it works well. Do you even know the forces that are going to act on your
sway bar?? Have you calculated that?? And do you think your welds will be strong
enough to withstand those forces?? I'm not trying to make you feel bad but stazi
know what he is doing..

The sway bar has to be one piece otherwise if you try welding "legs" on a bar, they will eventually snap off from fully-reversing rotary cyclic fatigue. And if that happens mid corner when you're pushing it full tilt, it may cos the car to loose control and send you into the ditch or oncoming traffic.

Seriously, just drop it, buy a swaybar and weld yourself up a BBQ or something if you're itching to weld something.

Attempting to weld a sway bar from 4 different pieces of pipe from Home Depot is hardly considered something great. Please do us all a favor and attempt to jump off a 100 story building, that would be something great.

I'm always itching to weld something!! You sound like the person I need to talk to...About fabricating suspension components that is By the way I'm a millwright apprentice (2 months left on apprenticeship)so I can weld, machine, and fabricate just about anything. If I can't I sure as hell would like to try... I gots ideas just need to run them by some qualified minds

And by the way a welded swaybar Failure 101
