I am curious, if a 3 wheeled vehicle has a front sway bar but no rear track to take the load away from, would it not cease to have an effect on the loads at the front track in steady state cornering? I would imagine that it would load up more quickly in transient states and obviously roll less, but at the cost of a less independent suspension, weight, and increased load transfer over a one sided bump.
