checking it out, i'm not sure...
the endlinks are mounted in the front w/endlinks attached @ the pivot point of the rear trailing arms...-duh-
so i don't see much tortional effect... that could easily be reconfigured to the rear w/ longer endlinks...-eureka--deal-
it's good that a different "bar" is available...
also noticed...
if anyone can zoom/enhance that pic...
the owner of that starlet has made a custom DIY adjustable panhard bar... anyone with a welder, four 5/8" or 3/4" nuts, washers & a 6" length of
5/8" or 3/4" threaded bolt/rod can make their own... -coolguy--eureka--deal-
Well since the rear axle has the trailing arms welded to the axle, it basically acts a swaybar already from factory. Just not a very stiff one. THey
basically mated another swaybar to the same side. It would work just aswell as if it were turned towards the back of the car. As long as the length of
the "legs" were the same there should be no difference between forward/reverse mounted swaybars.

I see what you're saying, but it seems like putting it backwards would do more than forward to me. With it backward, you are creating more of an "]["
shape where if you put the bar alongside the trailing arms it is just a stronger "]" shape. I don't know how you could figure it out with math, but
it just feels like it would do more good in my head.

The ][ shape doesn't make it any stiffer. Not in any direction. Since all the mounting points are sloppy or "bushinged".

This past weekend I put in the 22mm Whiteline Sway Bar, all I can say is wow. The car seems a little more stable at highway speeds and does not roll
as bad in the corners. Well worth the $.
I see Princess auto has some surplus end link and frame side polyurethane bushings on sale 4.99 a set.In Kelowna at any rate.Unfortunately the
smallest diameter frame side sway bar bushings are 22mm[7/8"]not 19mm[3/4"] like the stock bar.I ended up making some copper spacers seems to work
well.What the heck 10 bucks Canadian plus tax cheap.p.s.I had to cut one end link spacer in half and used the cut pieces for both end links, stock
spacer lenth is 25mm [1"].
