    Droop in the front sway bar

    Hi,
    Anyone have an idea why the front sway bar has the 90% droop downward at the link end of the sway bar? Is this for allowing the drop link to have enough length to allow for the twist of the strut?

    I am assuming this is the reason for the droop. Any shorter would place too much stress on the link? I was thinking of having a larger front bar made and wanted to eliminate this droop. But after thinking along these lines, I may have to include the droop. Any ideas?
