This is definitely the coolest car project I've done yet, IMO. I designed new rear swaybar mounts to correct the rear swaybar geometry when lowered and stiffen the mounts. I sent the design off to be 3D printed in aluminum and they arrived today. The whole process was great, the printer communicated with me the whole time and confirmed some aspects of my design. For example, they 3D printed the threads into the mount so I didn't have to tap the holes. So cool!





The design ended up being perfect and everything went together smoothly.



This is the stock geometry, you can see how the swaybar isn't perpendicular to the end link or the ground but it's also not centered on the control arm so it can torque the arm.



My design fixes that
