Message: [QUOTE="m_j, post: 1410023, member: 25646"] deflect = bind, its a restrained motion. any fixed bar added to the leaf spring system is an extra restrained making it an over restrained system. leaf springs have enough bind in them without gluing another one in the mix. shackle is to allow length changes in the spring as it deforms to allow travel. as was stated many times, the fixed bar does not allow the spring to move in the path it needs to. so the bar bends the spring into an S shape when it travels. eventually this will wreck something, but immediately it will change the spring rate. the more you use compliant bushings to reduce the effect on the spring the less effective the bar will be at wrap control. I am gonna read the pages I missed now and see where this thread went, this many pages it must be train wrecking. [/QUOTE]
