How exactly does a swaybar move when under load? the outlet tube off of the head unit for my sc points directly down and it just barley touches the swaybar. I don't think its rubbing but im not sure how exactly it moves when the car is in motion. I don't want it to put pressure on the outlet housing of my charger.

Head unit for ur head unit? u lost me? can u clarify what ur askin a bit? if ur talkin about suspension sway bars..... metal tends to deflect under stress.

I was typing that from my phone sorry, the outlet tube off of my procharger headunit touches the swaybar. I want to know how the bar moves when driving if at at all. Like does it rotate or move up and down at all. Im worried its going to put pressure on the discharge housing of my headunit by pushing on the pipe. It its just ment to stay stationary and just maybe flex a bit then im not worried.

anyone?

it pretty much stays stationary. it will rotate and twist a bit to go up and down with suspension travel. but the middle section of the bar shouldnt move more than a millimeter or so depending on the type of frame sway bar bushings.poly would keep it a bit more in place than a 20+ year old rubber one.

Does your outlet tube actually touch the sway bar when the car is parked, is it pressing up against it? I wouldnt think there would be much give in the supercharger piping... and the sway bar will move a slight bit, which might cause ur piping to suffer.

I wouldnt want any contact with suspension parts in my car...

it sits like 2mm to the side of it. i can rotate the housing and direct it a bit away from it to get maybe a cm or 2 clearance i just wasnt sure if it was needed. its near one of the angled peices that lead up to the mid section.

the sway bar in the rear controls side to side movement...and the front controls control arm lift up and down

so does the bar just torque, or does it move up and down, back and fourth? Im just curious to see how it moves so i can adjust the pipe away from however its motion is.

the swing on the front is up and down....jack your car up slowwly on the frame in the front and watch it's slow movement...I had to shim my mounts for the swaybar down cause it's swing when up in the air would interfere with the front plug on my moroso 7qt oil pan
