Hello there,

WTD - Rear K-Mac Sway Bar (Swing Axle).

A rear K-Mac sway bar is straight, and was once bright orange!

EG: it id designed to run from the bottom of the rear left shock mounting point to the rear right side shock mounting point.

Thanks,
Bryce

You need a 'Z' bar, not a sway bar, for swing-axle - unless you're looking for a lot of excitement.

LOL

I use to have a K-Mac rear sway bar, I "thought" the car ('66 Beetle) handled pretty well with it.
Much better, that it did with a Selby rear bar, that looked as though it was designed for a mid 70's 911!

To me, I thought the old "straight" K-Mac bar acted similiar to a camber compensator, without the pressure on the gearbox/gearbox mount.

Happydaze, on your race car, dio you use a z-bar or a camber compensator?

Thanks.

My experence with the same bar lasted about one hour with the car developing a bad case of snap over steer, changed it over to a good camber compensator and it went a long way towards making the car handle.

Guys,

Thanks for sharing your experience with camber compensators & rear sway bars.
