Ok, if you search the web for using different settings on sway bar ends you will find people arguing to no end if it does cause asymmetric loading, and if it does is the absolute force difference enough notice.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of consensus. If the bar is acting as a torsional spring, or a "passive through member" in relation to the chassis roll and if the twist angle of the bar is constant along the length or not, etc.
I honestly don't know which is correct now, as there is so much conflicting information.
With respect to these tables, the values will be correct, but it is uncertain if the staggered settings (Position 2,4 on the 3 hole, Position 2 on the 2 hole) will cause some sort of asymmetric loading. If you believe they do, do not use these settings, the rest are still valid.
^^Very cool toys your nephew has, I agree this shows the difference in moment arm length, but you would have to measure the force being applied to the white end piece resting on the table to show the load was asymmetrical, and both ends would have to be allowed to move freely.
