this has got to be a scam, a 40 pound tube of 3" outside diameter, moves a weight inside the tube to the INSIDE corner when you turn your car in a curve - supposedly decreasing body roll.

 


Unbelieveable, someone has this for sale online, and they think someone will part with 500 bucks for it
Thanks Marc!

  1. Doesn't seem like it would do much good. Someone has one for sale for $499, and says it weighs about 41 pounds. That's not very much weight or inertia to affect a car that weighs a few thousand pounds.

  2. Memory is a bit dim, but I'm pretty sure I still saw these in the J.C. Whitney catalogue in the mid 1960's. They didn't make sense then either.
