That is the most convoluted sway bar shape I've ever seen. Talk about an afterthought in the design process!

looks similar to the rear sway on my '10 xterra:

And the longer your sway bar is, the softer it will be, and the thicker and heavier you'll have to make it to stiffen it up...

Gotta admit. I have never seen anything like that before.

Part of it's the picture, but yeah, that does look like something "cooked up" for a TRUCK that the manufacturer decided VERY late into the design...."let's build a pickup that not just hauls, but handles like a 'Vette or 911".

That's a pretty standard shape, actually.

The Camry's bar is the only one I've seen with 180-degree bends. WTF?

Seeing it in the car would help.

Something is not working right with the GRM web site. I can't get to the make it turn post from the project car overview, there are three updates but this one doesn't show up. The link that Nickstawithnumbers posted is the only way I can find it.

That's because this update isn't posted yet--it's still in the proofing process.

What are the 4 red things on the attach hardware? I have an 07 XTerra and one of these attache points has only 1 of 4 red "things" left. Wondering what happens when the last one goes.

Here's a pic:

Yikes, Zombie thread! My guess is that those are protective caps to prevent the fasteners from rusting, as you can see the others have.
