  • Festy swaybar as a hitch???

    I have a Festiva swaybar that I removed from my car a while ago, and I was wondering if cutting it down and using that steel would be good enough to make a class one hitch?

    Sway bars are made from spring steel (high silicon content). Don't weld or heat spring steel or it will become brittle and lose it's strength.
    Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

      A.K.A. It's a bad idea lol

      1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

          Its perfectly fine to take the sway bar and get money from the recycling
          place to go toward new steel.
