I can assure they are not made from electrical conduit, which is hollow soft
tubing, but rather 1 and 1/8 solid spring steel. The bushings are
polyurethane. I use a sway bar on my 50 and feel it's worth every penny.
Next to radial tires its the best handling improvement I've made. Nice flat
cornering. Sold by many but made by ADCO.
