Whiteline adjustable sway bars
About 20 years ago, Jeff Unwin from Hellbug and I built my old 56 beetle race car and used Whiteline adjustable sway bars. Whiteline no longer make
them.
Does anybody out there have set they want to sell me?

i have talked to some racers about the hollow ones and some say yay and some nay, but didnt find out what metal they use........they do use them on
open wheelers.
i also rang a suspension place to see if i could buy some round spring steel then get it bent to shape then get them to heat treat it but they told me
it is hard to get hold of "the round spring steel that is"...
i also asked a performance place how much to make a custom bar and they said around $900....

isnt it funny how many $$$$$ the word "custom" can add to the price of a component.

heat treating is a myth according to the new owners of whiteline. They said heat the bars where you need to bend them and bend to shape,
BUT! must be slowly cooled down.
I tryed this at home with some car springs and a blow torch and indeed, works perfectly.
Then I tried to cool them quicker/quickly and they lost the spring and become sort of hard, then soft once strength force was exceeded.
So I took this one step further. I put a force on a bed spring and noted the amount. then heated it red hot and cooled it slowly and re checked the
force VS distance it was still the same.
So yeah their methods works. I plan to correct an imperfection in one of the arms of my whiteline front bar as the arms are out of parallel by 20mm
from a mistake when press forge of the flat mounting faces during "custom" manufacturing.
