adding an anti-sway bar to their Westy to stop the body roll.  I was
talking with a know-it-all mechanic friend who only works on domestics and
he was making fun of my Westy and telling me "if its a decent vehicle in
that weight category it would come with one from the factory".  Being less
then a master mechanic myself, and unfamiliar with this bar I don't know #1
if it came stock on all Westys, #2 what one looks like, #3 where its
mounted, #4 exactly how it works, #4 front or rear or both, #5 where to buy
one if I need one (somebody said JC Whipme but I'm not finding one there).
Can anybody help a clueless owner like me out?
