  • Patent number: 6832772
    Abstract: An adjustable anti-roll bar having a single set of mounting apertures whose roll rate is adjusted in the middle of the anti-roll bar. The roll rate is determined by the location of the junction of one torsion member to another; that is, an outer torsion member to an inner torsion member. In order to account for the presence of certain automotive components in the undercarriage area, the geometry of the anti-roll bar may be changed. The second embodiment meets this challenge for a specific vehicle by using two weldments of a specific size to relocate the adjustable middle section. Changing the length and angle of the lever arms of the first embodiment can do the same thing in many instances.
