The
two primary functions of sway bars are to control body roll and to
determine the
understeer
or oversteer behavior of a vehicle. Stock sway bars have low torsional
spring
rates
because they are manufactured from small diameter bar stock or tubing.

Suspension’s
SB044R S550 Mustang front sway bar was designed by factoring in the
vehicle
weight, application, motion ratio, coil spring rate, and adjustability
requirements.
Manufactured
from heavy-wall 35mm DOM tubing, the SB044R is cold formed to better
resist
torsional fatigue and retain its "memory" far longer than the
hot-formed bars used
by
many competitors.
The
sway bar is CNC-formed for exact manufacturing tolerances and
repeatable high quality.
Thrust
washers are welded to the bar to locate the sway bar bushing mounts.
This is critical
as
it properly locates the sway bar and preventslateral movement during
hard cornering
maneuvers.
The sway bar mounts to the car using polyurethane bushings. These
bushings are
molded
from 95-durometer, low-deflection, polyurethane, and are internally
fluted to keeps
grease
in the bushing. The billet aluminum sway bar mounting brackets minimize
deflection.
The
sway bar is 3-way adjustable to tune the amount of torsional spring
rate and to determine
the
handling characteristics (understeer/oversteer) of the vehicle.
BMR
Suspension designed the SB044R sway bar for street performance,
autocross, and
road
race applications. The large adjustable sway bar’s three positions give
you the
versatility
to drive to and from the road course or autocross and still out handle
the
competition
with the same sway bar. The SB044R front sway bar gives you a 28%-70%
increase
in sway bar rate. These rate increases and adjustability allow you to
fine-tune
the
handling characteristics of your S550 Mustang so you can drive harder
through
corners
with minimal body roll. The hollow design allows for loads of strength
in the
lightest
package possible. This means increased performance with no sacrifices.
The
SB044R
attaches to your Mustang with 95-durometer polyurethane bushings,
reducing
the
deflection from the stock rubber bushings. This allows for more sway
bar control,
and
more control equals better handling
