It keeps the axles tubes where they are supposed to be. Eric is a very cool guy and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Well, the link isn't working right now but he does have a site. I'll try to find his card to see if I have the wrong address.

Here's more info on it:

There was a write up about it in last months 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords. Im thinking about picking one up.

To me it sounds like an alternative to welding your axle tubes.

Thanks guys. I was wondering if I could use that as an alternative to spending lots of money on the panhard bar..

How is the swarr bar installed?

It would be great if I could use it as a replacement for the panhard bar.. does it work with the panhard bar? does it replace a torque are too? If not, which is better or is there a noticeable diference? These are my main questions personally.

Does anyone have a picture of one installed? Curious myself.

Its nothing at all like a panhard bar. Panhard is part of the suspension that acts to keep the rear end located during turning, the swarr bar is to stop your axle stubes from bending under high HP loads.

Hmm.. I though panhard bar gave u better traction and cornering.

Welding the tubes is still very important, the factory spot weld is a joke when you get a lot of power applied. The Swarr bar is just as Paul described it.

i just cant see that doing much

It really helps the axles from trying to wind forward as a result of a lot of HP on launches. It is something I consider standard on all drag cars, along with welding the axle tubes. I usually fab my own or I have used some other weld in kits for a 8.8 in a fox.

 

[Pokageek]

Does anyone know if it can be used with a panhard bar? or will one ge tin the way of the other..

 

[vladasap]

well on a drag car with serious hp deff but i was referring to a mild 5.0 with no more than 300 n street tires

useless more or less???

I have a swarr bar on my car. After I bent the housing really bad a few years ago I installed it. It has worked good ever since under some sever use. I've had my car 4 wheel aligned several times since then and it's still straight. Definitely a mandatory item if you're going to do hard launches at the track on slicks
