Rear Sway Bars?

pick them up mike. it reduces body roll. I need some for the 240sx badly. pick up the rear sway than try to get the front sway bar and than install them so that you just don't get a stiff rear.

Actually for the Audi's, it pushes the car to Understeer I beleieve, making the back end a little looser.Supposed to make a huge difference in handling. Go for it!

I think you've got the effect right but the terminology backwards.

Adding a rear sway will tend to induce oversteer (the back end wants to come around). Adding a front sway bar will induce understeer (the car wants to go straight when you want it to turn).

I think the same can be said for anything that stiffens the back end (more oversteer) or the front end (more understeer).

People often confuse the two. I remember it by thinking of the car overachieving or underachieving the turning maneouver.

Car turns too much = overachieving = oversteer

Car turns too little = underachieving = understeer.

P.S. Get the rear sway bar :thumbsup:

Dammit. I always mess those two up. Thanks for the correction.

Either way, get the sway bar
