[QUOTE="squeak12, post: 750590, member: 12742"] Also, I am not criticizing anything you are doing, just helping think through the process. I'll say also, that measurements are only as good as the tool and the user. And then back to the measurements trying to simulate situations versus actually measuring during said situations. I'd be more concerned with binding in the middle of the travel just as much as at the ends. With that many links all working together in a system, while it seems pretty simple, a lot of angles move around all through out travel and having stable, non-binding paths can be more important than what the max limits are. We assume everything is rigid for math, but that is never the case. It may be negligible, but things are always bending. The more things you have in a system, the more they can add up and cause issues. Say for example something goofy is happening somewhere and something starts to bind. You better believe it isn't going to halt the vehicle and stop the swaybar from moving With the kind of force I would expect, it is going to bind then push straight through. If you are "lucky" you are below the force which your materials permanently deform, and the links or tabs or bolts or whatever bend back leaving you none the wiser. Making everything stronger can be a fix, but isn't necessarily the right fix. Also being most right isn't always affordable or even required in every situation. [/QUOTE]
