I recently had an unfortunate accident with an 18 wheeler tire. I have a 36mm F-Body hollow front sway bar that was bent.

Now my guesstimation 36mm is roughly equal to 1 7/16 diameter. I currently have an ATR 1 3/8 rear bar. Fast corners or quick lane changes the rear wants to step out so I need to stiffen up the front just a bit. I have Moog 5658 front springs, ~ 578 lb./sq. in. I need a new front sway bar.

I'm kinda gun shy with hollow bars. Hotchkis is 1 3/8 hollow . The F-Body is also hollow . I cannot find a web site for Suspension Techniques. Their bar is 1 3/8.

Does anyone know if Suspension Techniques front bar is hollow?


:confused:
 
I looked it up at Summit and they list the
Suspenssion Techniques STQ-50245 as a solid 1 3/8 front sway-bar.
I have looked several places and can't find the material description other than solid steel.

There is also a 1 5/16 solid sway-bar made by Hellwig.It's made of 4140 Chromemoley.
