Hey guys, Can't live with the list, can't live without it... :-) This week's question: I picked up my new rear EMPI sway bar for the bus and noticed the warning about using it in California. Apparently, "those in charge" have reason to believe that they may be dangerous. Why? My guess is that the van reaches its tipping-over point (lift of the inside front wheel?) with less warning than a stock van. Would anyone with training in physics care to comment? Sami PS: I also replaced the rear shocks with KYB Gas-A-Justs. The old ones were quite dead and could be compressed and decompressed by hand as easily as a bicycle pump. Interestingly enough, the usual test consisting of jumping up and down on the bumper and watch the car settle hadn't revealed anything wrong.
