4G63T: Please stop post whoring.

All you'd have to do to make a sway bar would be to find a piece of metal that's long enough to go from one wheel thru the chassis to the other wheel. A paperclip is the right gauge metal, but I don't know if it would be long enough. What you do, is find some way to attach it to the wheels and chassis. Presto, a swaybar is made.

A paperclip would never hold up. You need spring steel to do the job properly. Get some really thin piano wire if you can find it. Should be able to get it at your LHS.

Yeah, piano wire is good too, but paperclips are cheap. It might work for a little while.

a paper clip would hold up. were not talking abot a ton of weight here that needs to be stableized. the thing only weighs about a pound fully loaded. it takes more then that to straighten out a paperclip. but i would be more woried about the chassis itself twisting in the middle then the suspention shifting.
