are heated and or otherwise formed into the shape of the attachment points 20 in operation the stabilizer bar 12 is adapted to keep the wheels on opposite sides of the automobile level to one another with respect to the automobile the shape of the stabilizer bar 12 includes a generally straight center section 22 and two arms 24 26 extending generally angularly from opposite ends of the straight section 22 the arms 24 26 are formed by bending the stabilizer bar 12 such that the arms 24 26 are integral with the center section 22 the arms 24 26 extend at and angle to the center section 22 when the distal ends 14 of a first of the two arms 24 is forced upward or downward vertically the arm 24 acts as a moment arm thereby transferring torque to the center section 22 the center section 22 transfers the torque to the opposite arms 26 to correspondingly force the second distal end 16 upward or downward referring to fig2 a finite element analysis identifies localized areas 28 30 immediately around the bends between the arms 24 26 and the straight section 22 as the point of highest stress within the stabilizer bar 12 during operation of an automobile to withstand the higher stresses experienced within the localized areas 28 30 these localized areas 28 30 include a strengthened outer surface referring to fig3 a cross section of a solid stabilizer bar 12 shows an outer surface portion.
