Sway bars are definitely NOT electrical conduit. They are solid steel bars that are tempered, just as any spring. Conduit has virtually no spring properties and no strength. Don't even begin to try to fabricate one from conduit. (Did I just fall for a different version of the "air cooled brake lines" question?)
