suspension sway bar

Suspension sway bars, or stabilizer bars (generic terms), help you keep your car on the road when going around corners. Just pretend you are turning your bike rapidly. You may notice a bias toward one end on your part. This is exactly how a car works. This makes the car rise from one side to lean or tilt down when turning. This rocking motion generally means the car is more difficult to handle. The sway bar ties one side of the suspension to the other and balances out weight. It stops the car from tipping over and reduces body lean or sway.

The reason this is important, and sway control was invented in the first place, ties back to wheel grip. This is because the less your car sways and weaves from side to side, the more of that precious rubber can stay in contact with road surface. So you can handle the car much more. If you can drive your car and control it well, then turn as this is a more aggressive mode of driving without the risk of sliding or going off-road. That is making driving not only better, but safer and more fun.

Decreasing Body Roll and Increasing Traction

If you are looking into upgrading your sway bar, there some key things to take note of. The first thing to check out is the size of the sway bar. It also allows a thicker sway bar to further stabilize your car and lessen the swaying. However, the sway bar should not be too stiff. Apart from that, if it is too stiff as well then it brings back the cons again namely; a hard and uncomfortable ride for you while driving.

One other potential factor to weigh, is whether or not you would prefer a solid sway bar in place of the same hollow one. Plated sway bars are more robust than solid and offer improved support for your car; at a premium, however they can be almost twice as heavy which directly impacts unsprung weight. Hollow anti-sway bars, meanwhile, are typically cheaper and lighter but may be less strong or (perceived as) flexy than a solid bar. Each type does have pros and cons, and it is worth taking those into account as you are making your selections.
