This is the anti-roll bar I built for my "Z". My shocks are 11" apart on center, so I figured I better stiffen it up a little. I haven't heard of using the anti-roll bar for pre-load. But then, this is a learn as I go project so I dunno fer' sur'. I planned to get the pre-load with the four link. From what I understand, they are very effective. This is usually a race set up. But I made aluminum seal housings on my CNC machine for each end of the anti-roll bar, so I can keep the bushings lubed. Hope that will slow wear???
