An adjustable sway bar has several holes on each end to adjust the leverage on
the bar from the end links. Closer to the bar is stiffer and further away is
softer. The length of the links is only to compensate for any binding or
interference between the bar and the suspension in it's travel.

Can somebody explain to me, in simple terms, how an "adjustable sway

Sorry for confusing things by talking about the anti-roll bar as a spring
(which it is, it is a torsional spring)
In this instance the springs and the anti-roll bars are perfoming the same
functions. Controlling the roll of the body around the roll center.

Harder to twist, right? So now the two wheels are trying harder to stay
at the same level. That is wha

really reffering to the panhard bars. Does anyone know which is the right

Do your plans include lowering the car? If so build an adjustable tubular
pan-hard bar and weld the axle. If not; weld them both.

I want to stiffin up my suspension a little, so I was going to weld up the
rear, but some pages I've seen have the pan hard bars and some say the
"axle" which I'm guessing is the trailing arm beam welded up. I've seen one
page that showed pics of the pan hard bars welded up, and the other ones
