Can I weld this up or use this on a street stock setup?

Not sure if the torque on the the bar would break the weld. Then again, it may last forever. It is worth a try.

I'd be more concerned about the weld ruining the sway bar's springiness (is that even a word?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ) It's the heat treatment that makes a sway bar different from just a long, bent piece of iron. . .

It's toast.....
Spring steel is notch sensitive meaning a crack WILL form in the notch... Feeling lucky as to when it lets go and your handling changes al the sudden????????? I agree with the above, spring steel is heat treated to be a spring, meaning it wil break (snap) if you try to bend it too much or at too sharp a radius... Welding will turn that into a nice bendable section......... |
