Do Whiteline of Australia (or anyone else) make an anti-roll bar for swing axle beetles?

If so has anybody got any info/pics on these.

I was wandering if you could fit one in conjuction with a camber compensator.

Thanks

They do make one...go to their website. I have no idea if you can do both, i would imagine you could, but i dunno why you would. The sway bar is gonna be very stiff and should limit the "swing" of the swing axle.

Looked on their web site, and mailed them - problem is that they listed years rather than models - sway bar fits 69-76 15 and 1600.

Dunno if that means swing axle or not as America had IRS rear -balljoint front cars for those years.

I e-mailed them about the fitment of a camber compensator with an anti-roll bar and they didn'y know.

I assume that a roll bar won't stop wheel tuck. One of the problems I am trying to eliminate is instability at the rear of the car when it gets light when going over crests etc.

if i remember correct, you should not fit an antiroll bar of any description to a swing axle rear end. The usual off the shelf camber compensators do a really good job as it is, especially when coupled to the correct shocks & torsion bars.
