rear anti roll/sway bar mounting bushing ??? - 11/25/21 07:40 PM
i am making an anti roll bar/sway bar, whatever you want to call it, for the rear of my 33 humpback panel truck [the "eternal project"] and i have a question about the pivot bearing mount.
member Gregsdart made one from 1 3/4" dom tubing, and i'm going to imitate his bar.
the question is, can the bushing and mount be on the inside of the tubing instead of the outside ? or will that not allow the bar to work as intended ?
i'm thinking of a slug of nylon, poly, or bronze, the i.d. of the tube and maybe 1 1/2" long or so, bolted to end flanges, which in turn will be welded to the plates shown in the pics with the two 3/8" bolts ahead of the shock mock up bar. the bar arms will be attached to the top of the ladderbar brackets in the usual tubing/heim method.
any thoughts on my idea ? yes, no, maybe ?
