The SB045 product has been redesigned. The rear sway bar now has
clamp-on style thrust
washers
instead of weld-on thrust washers. BMR Suspension has
determined that Ford has
more
than one rear sway bar design on the 2015 Mustang. The sway
bar thrust washers are
located
in different positions for each rear sway bar design. The new
clamp-on thrust washers
will
minimize the number of part numbers by allowing BMR to consolidate
these rear sway bar
part
numbers into one part number.
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.
BMR
Suspension’s
SB045R rear sway bar was designed by factoring in the vehicle weight,
application,
motion ratio, coil spring rate, and adjustability requirements.
Manufactured
from
heavy-duty 25mm bar stock, the SB045R 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. The SB045R attaches to your S550 Mustang with
88-durometer
polyurethane
bushings, reducing the deflection from the stock rubber bushings. These
bushings
are molded from 88-durometer, low-deflection, polyurethane, and are
internally
fluted to keep grease in the bushing.
BMR
Suspension designed the SB045R sway bar for street performance,
autocross, and
road
race applications. The three-way adjustable SB045R gives you a 63%-208%
increase
in rate over the stock bar. The rate increases gives you improved
handling
characteristics
so you can drive harder through corners with minimal body roll. This
allows
for more sway bar control, which equals better handling.
