Another swaybar thread. Free increase in front swaybar stiffness

I'm going to do this tomorrow. I got to thinking, switching the end link, the end that bolts to the lower conrol arm to the other side of the control arm would be like setting an adjustable bar to the stiffer setting. It would increase the lever action by about 2" which should add nearly 50% to the front bar stiffness.

So far its only theory but I bet it works assuming it physically bolts up ok. Going to try it after work tomorrow.

This mod is a no go. Not enough clearance between the lower control arm mounting bracket and the lower shock bracket. But I did fix a rattling heat shield when I was under there.
