ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a vehicle sway bar 10' (FIG. 2(b)) which has two non-metallic components 25 and 26 molded directly thereonto at a spacing D for interfacing with a vehicle chassis, enabling the bar to be fabricated separately from, rather than during assembly with, the vehicle, comprises producing a bar form 10 from steel rod bent to shape, defining a datum point or feature of the bar beam by which the bar can be located with respect to a reference part 33 of molding apparatus 30, defining a first portion 20 of the bar, at which a first component 25, is to be molded, in terms of its distance S from the datum feature, arranging the molding apparatus 30 with two molds 31, 32 a distance D apart and the first mold a distance S from reference part 33, locating the bar form 10 with the datum feature at the reference part and extending through the molds and molding components onto the first and second portions of the bar form to give sway bar 10'.
