Tiger Sway Bar Diameter

[RIX260]

What is the diameter of the factory sway bar?

 

[IvaTiger]

3/4 inches

Of course, WITH the world of LAT parts, it's a trick question...

However, a case could be made, whatever the number, NOT big enough.

According to TEAE concours guide, 3/4" stock, 7/8" LAT option.

Thanks for the input.

How about 1" hollow for performance use?

 

[Too Tech]

1" would be clearly lighter. As a torsion bar it will be about the same stiffness as the 7/8" bar. You would have to know the wall thickness of the "hollow" bar and do some math to be sure.....

Iirc some 1" ( perhaps hollow) bars were made around 2010 for some of the Tiger race guys stateside.. I recall trying to help sort polly bushes for them

I ended up buying a .875 bar from Addco

FYI got a 1” sway bar that is solid and have a poly or rubber bushing on the bar, which broke off by hand. Want to source bushings also but a Tiger freind informed me that he used 1” id clear rubber tubing which has a 3/16“ wall thickness. Has had them on his Tiger for 20 years with no problem. Will give it a try.

Curt Bowland has a 1” Sway bay on his Tiger, which has rubber bushings. Believe his is solid also.

I have a 1 1/8" bar on my car using the stock clips and it has never torn the tabs off but I've seen small pieces of round stock welded across the top of the outside of the slot to add strength
I think someone made a bunch of these in the past... They are pretty HD ...
