Anti-roll bar

A anti-roll bar, also called a sway bar, is a steel U-shaped bar that connects the left and right wheel suspension. The purpose of the anti-roll bar is to keep the car as level as possible steering into a corner. Without the sway bar, the car will lean too far into the corner and thus could tip over. The anti-roll bar link is attached to the wheel suspension with bushes and brackets that together keep the car on a comfortably level.

Anti-roll bar link symptoms

An anti-roll bar generally doesn’t break that easy. How quickly it will wear depends on the driving behaviour of the owner. The sway bar will break more easily when driving on roads with many pits and bumps than it will on a nice paved, flat motor way. Holes, bumps and pits in the road will also cause the connection rod to wear faster. Do you hear a thumping sound on a bumpy road? Or does the car lean more than usual to a specific side? Then there is a good chance that the anti-roll bar is broken and needs to be replaced.

The anti-roll bar bushes, however, are subject to wear. The chances of having to replace the bushes are greater than having to replace the entire sway bar. The sway bar bushes will eventually wear and dry out and thus need to be replaced.

Anti-roll bar replacement

Does the anti-roll bar prove to be in fact broken? Then it is time to replace it, because repairing it is not possible. Basically, you can replace the anti-roll bar yourself. This is not a very difficult job to do. If you are going to replace the sway bar, we recommend to check if the anti-roll bar bushes are due for replacement as well. The difficulty replacing the anti-roll bar depends on the car make and model you own. Often it is a matter of loosening some bolts.

Anti-roll bar

The anti-roll bar or sway bar is a metal bar running from left to right between the car tyres. The sway bar can be found on both the front and rear axles of the car. The bar provides a connection between the left and right wheel suspension. The function of the anti-roll bar link is to prevent the car from leaning to one side. The torsion bar is attached to the body with brackets, bushes and a ball joint which can be found at the ends. Each of the ball joints can rotate in a different directions. The anti-roll bar has a lot to endure and can, therefore, break over time. However, it is more common that the bushes and brackets need to be replaced. You can order a new sway bar and anti-roll bar bushes quickly and easily at Winparts, using your number plate or selecting your car on make and model.
