the rear sway bar doesn't just exert torsional forces, but bending forces also due to the poor factory location of the mounting points.... this is the cause of the infamous mazdaspeed rear sway bar clunk (the soft springs on the MSF/MSP exacerbated this... very stiff springs almost eliminates this)... this is why the clunk fix brackets were created to replicate the racing beat prototype design which makes the sway bar produce only torsional forces
