    Not intending to start an argument, but I know that Competition Engineering commonly makes anti-roll bars from 4130 moly tubing, and Hotchkiss has some good design recommendations. Tubular sway bars are common on many factory cars on the road today. Heavy wall 4130 has pretty hairy torsional strength. I agree that tubular is a no-no if there is any bending. However, a properly sized tubular roll bar with the type of links that Steve has shown is definitely usable. Check the following link:
