Rear sway bar...

I mentioned a while back that I was getting uneven action out of my rear sway bar, and a couple other people mentioned they had the same problem.

Well, I found out what was up while I was changing the oil in my rear shocks. As it turned out, I had a ball cup on the rear hub that was REALLY tight(didn't notice it because it was the last thing I snapped on) and was causing the suspension on that side not to move as free...thusly causing the sway bar not to raise the suspension as much on that side.

After correcting that (by chucking the ball end into a rotary tool and spinning it with grease inside the ball cup) the sway bar was able to work equally on both sides while still having the bars being turned to the same degree.

So anyone else who was having this issue, it might be a good idea to check out the freedom in the rear suspension. It may not be a sway bar issue at all.
