Gary Murphy Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 New to MT`s and not long had a SMT10. Got a few upgrades and fitted Axial front and rear sway bars. These fitted great, with the shocks in the standard position. I fitted rod type upper and lower trailing arms and the shocks then mounted in a more scale position BUT the sway bars did not now fit. Bought some new sway bars from ebay which meant to fit but again did not. I have made some swat bars myself but concerned the arms are too short. Would like some opinions, the silver arms insome pics are the ebay jobs that are way to long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The arms look like the standard length. The turnbuckles should go from the end of the sway arm down to the shock mount. You may need to add some spacers to make it work. From experience, only use the sway bar on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Murphy Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 The silver arms are the after market sway bar kits. These only fit with shocks mounted on the lower trailing arms, that does not look scale or pleasing to the eye. The black arms are items I have adapted,much shorter using the same torsion bars as the after market. The front one is slightly longer than the rear,which I think is better,the rear as less room so had to be shorter. I have yet to fit the linkage rods from the sway bars to the axle. will make them when I know the final setup. Most of the MT`s ,axial at least seem to run front and rear bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
