A sway bar is a device that does increase roll stiffness but it never adds traction. It only takes it away. If my tire wear is where I want it but my steering isn't, I'll use a sway bar to even it out by adding a sway bar at the end that doesn't have a problem. In other words if the car is oversteering I'll add a bar in back.
I thought I read that you said to use camber links to get tire wear even. So that was my first move to shorten the links. They're as short as they can get, I'll try dropping it next time out. Do you think the outside tire wear and rear end sliding out are the same issue? Rear roll stiffness too loose. Too stiff and you get inside tire wear, due to lack of body roll? Also, wouldn't adding a rear sway bar give more steering?
