Re: Weld or heat and bend sway bar?
I'm thinking if you heat or weld on the sway bar it will be ruined....pretty sure they are heat treated

Re: Weld or heat and bend sway bar?
Hit the bar with file. If it files easily it means it's a low carbon steel. If the file doesn't bite in means it's high carbon steel and though it can be welded it could become brittle.
If I was going to narrow it I would cut it in the straight areas and then "sleeve" it after cutting the needed amount. Don't know if you have a local welding shop they could have good advice. |
