Stiff Sway Bars On Slippery Roads
#18
Yes, the 28mm rear bar is rediculous, and no serious performance drivers are using them. You are basically taking the wonderful independent rear suspension that Ford worked so hard to give us, and locking it up so it can hardly move.

As for the control arms failing, it doesn't have much to do with how you drive. It's just a matter of time, and the roads you drive on. Every time one wheel hits a bump, your control arm now flexes more than it was designed to, it's taking all the load.

I don't even recommend 25mm rear bars unless you also have stiffer springs and shocks.

How do you figure you're getting "more stability" from this? It makes it oversteer more. I also have a wagon and probably load it more than anybody else (full trunk, rooftop basket, towing a trailer) and there are no stability problems.
