Greetings fellow gearheads and engineers. Quick question: How can I calculate the rate of my swaybar if my cross section changes? This is for the front of a Saturn, which has an odd swaybar that also serves as the front half of the control arm. I'd like to weld a sleeve over the center section of the bar to increase the roll rate. I understand that will increase stress in the non-sleeved sections of the bar, but I'm more concerned with how I calculate the rate. I know its not that complicated, but my education or brain is failing me at the moment :(
Edit, my image seems to work in the preview pane, but not in the actual post :(
