[QUOTE="squeak12, post: 750583, member: 12742"] A properly designed and executed swaybar system isn't typically designed to take a ton of force. They are just systems that transfer existing forces. They aren't creating anything merely a link in the chain that is subject to whatever force is applied. I think the issue is probably more with the general geometry of the situation which unless your are willing to spend a lot of time really examining and measuring and calculating and potentially reworking, then you are pretty much stuck making the best of what you have. Not to sound negative at all just the way it is. Typically the offroad mindset is to beef it up so the weak links are stronger and instead of breaking they will just bend less and handle the stress better. Going with double shear and heavy grade stuff is 100% a viable answer to address small amounts of binding or misalignment, but the better answer is to design it from the beginning to not be put into a situation where the hardware is going to be loaded inefficiently.
