The Focus' rear anti-roll bar attaches to the rear control arms about halfway between the pivot and the wheel. This means putting 100 pounds of force into the rear tire takes 200 pounds of effort from the bar. No wonder it has to be so big. Being so close to the pivot point also means it doesn't get to move very much to generate that force. Since the bar made little difference in handling balance, we suspect the huge forces and small travel added up to do little more than compress the end-link bushings. We'll try some heim-joint end links and see what happens then.
