Default

generally, adjustable swaybars are "size labeled" based on their softest setting

Default are you sure about that?

there are plenty of variables that go into play. We used to run very thin sway bars when I was on the formula car team in school because we used a solid steel and kept the fulcrum points close. hollow would have required a larger bar due to the lessened torsion strength.

Default From what I know, and experience yes... interesting link inside:

Hotchkiss will try to fit the LARGEST bar possible.. but will go hollow to lessen the weight impact.<ul><li><a href="http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/topic/t-44208_hollow_vs._solid_shafts.html">http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/topic/t-44208_hollow_vs._solid_shafts.html</a</li></ul>

Default More:

Looks like the maximum stress is greater in the hollow given the same size even in an 80% hollow bar.<ul><li><a href="http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/bulletins/Hollow%20vs%20Solid%20Swaybar.pdf">http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/bulletins/Hollow%20vs%20Solid%20Swaybar.pdf</a</li></ul>

Default uhm...

this states that the solid bar is stronger. The maximum stress is the amount of stress on each bar given the same amount of force. more stress = bad.

Default Sqeaking with Neuspeed Sway Bar over speed bumps?

Is anyone else experiencing squeaking noises arising from the rear of the car with the neuspeed sway bar when going over speed bumps. This has been particularly noticeable (and annoying) during colder temperature.
Any remedies for this?
Incidentally, I also had Bilstein HD shocks placed at the same time as the Sway bar.

Default poly bushings will squeak more when its cold...

there is some lube you can buy that will quiet it down for a while.
