Well I didn't get anything done with my engine today. Had a rough night last night so I just didn't feel like going out and working on anything. Only got a couple of hours of sleep as I was awake every couple of hours due to pain.
But I did get the SwayLoc box hauled out to the garage.
So here are the two SwayLoc bars laid out next to each other.
And the arms next to each other.
And then the bars next to each other. The first thing you'll notice is that the new bars have a flat notch for indexing the arms where the old style bars are splined.
The inner bars appear to be about the same diameter.
Now the outer bars are defiantly different in size. Both in OD & the wall thickness.
The OD of the old outer bar.
The OD of the new outer bar.
The thickness of the old outer bar.
The thickness of the new outer bar.
Since it's been 8+ years since I've driven my Jeep I won't be able to tell you what the new SwayLoc feels like compared to the old SwayLoc. I remember that when I went from the Anti-Rock to the SwayLoc I noticed a difference between the two on how it handled on road. So I'm looking forward to trying out the new SwayLoc. And with my Jeep being heavier I would think the added torsional strength of the new kit will be a nice feature.
