This QA1 lightweight tubular sway bar is engineered to reduce body roll by distributing vehicle weight more evenly across all four tire contact patches when cornering. QA1 tunes each tubular sway bar to the specific vehicle application, setting the diameter and tubing wall thickness for the torsional stiffness needed. The rear bar is built from hollow 1-1/4in 4130 chromoly steel for stiffness and strength, with a compact design that optimizes ground clearance. It features CNC-bent tubing, machined and welded bar ends, and a durable powder-coat finish, and includes high-quality plated mounting hardware. It is a direct-fit, bolt-in installation that often uses the factory sway bar mounting locations, and some applications may require simple welding. Detailed step-by-step instructions are included.
