Has any one used nascar sway bars?

[Dirt-Rod]

Just seeing if I’m going down a road that shouldn’t be traveled. I’ve seen these sway bars everywhere used for cheap. They range from as small as 7/8” all the way up to 2”. I bought one off eBay to try. The arms are 4130 so I should be able to just use them as slugs and make the rest of the arms.

I would think as long as the diameter is adequate , a sway bar is a sway bar

That’s my thought.

With that much of a step I’m guessing it’ll break a lot sooner than most other offroad bars. That short end section is going to be doing almost all the twisting.

the only difference I can think of is the movement of off-road suspension is far more more dynamic than a nascar. but if the price is right why not try it

I got this one for $125. It’s 1.5” on the ends and steps up to 1.75”. Might buy one that’s 1.5” the whole way.

definitely worth a shot for the savings, what material is that nascar sway bar?

I like to look at that surplus NASCAR stuff, the brake calipers are the most enticing

Only thing the Schroeder website says is steel. So I’m just going to wing it.

thats a good deal for 125 bucks! I think our last bar was $900? 1.75" thickness on our Tundra feels great.

ive snapped the aluminum arms and hollow bars meant for stock cars they dont seem to be up to the rigors of offroad from my experiences
