If your anti roll bar fails mid corner, you'd be surprised how wrong things can go suddenly.

Harley,
antiroll bars should be made from spring steel, to avoid any possibilty that the lower yield stress of mild steel would allow a permanent set to be induced in the bar.
Choosing the correct stiffness of an antiroll bar is important, particulary since a relatively small increase in the bar's diameter has a disproportionate effect on its torsional stiffness.
For example, Lomax made their own version of the Ami's front bar, but because its outer diameter was 1mm larger than the original item, it was illegal to use the Lomax bar in the UK's 2CV racing series...

Maybe have a word with these folk?
"Whiteline Sway bars are manufactured using the finest grade Australian spring steel."

I am always guessing where your nickname comes from, now it's gone'....

Doing skids is cool.

Once had a major brown trousers oversteer moment on the A5004 from Buxton to Whaley Bridge provoked by braking on a bend at 60+mph - had just overtaken a car who had left their headlights on full beam and distracted me from how near to the bend I was resulting in having to brake on the bend rather than before it and a real opposite lock to opposite lock to opposite lock oversteer skid - glad nothing was coming the other way!

Also have experience of this too.....had a Rover 827 and driving to work one morning in light rain I was passed by a BMW coming up to a bend and I thought "wouldn't be going that quickly myself as its a sharp bend" to find that when I got there at a slower speed the back stepped out and I binned it eventually after trying to correct the skid against a kerb. Found out later that the anti roll bar bushes were shot........
