Yeah. I figured we already knew that. My attempt was to explain the functional difference between the techniques.


edit... ok, I see where I failed. My point was that, all other things being equal, the mere act of turning the wheels preloads the sway bar by pulling and pushing. It applies an opposite rolling force to the wheels as a function of steering angle.
