Sway Bar

A spring steel sway bar, or anti-roll bar, can be found on the front or rear of many suspension systems
Front sway bar connects to both of the lower control arms, usually through sway bar links, each link having a set of four bushings. It is secured to the frame with brackets and 1-piece bushings
The bar prevents excessive body lean, or roll, by resisting the centrifugal forces that tend to make the inside of the body rise and the outside of the body drop during cornering. The resistance is provided through a twisting action of the bar

Bushing Inspection

Bushing Replacement
Some control arm bushings can be replaced with the arm still on the vehicle; others require removal of the arm. On a few applications, control arm bushings are threaded into the control arm, but most are press fitted
Press fitted bushings can be removed and installed with a bushing driver. Some may be removed with an air chisel, and some may be pressed into the arm with the retaining nut. This method can require periodic vibration of the control arm to coax the bushing into place
Care must be used in bushing replacement to avoid damage to the control arm. To properly position the bushing, the weight of the vehicle must be on the suspension before tightening the nut on most designs. Check the service information for the vehicle for the proper procedure
Replacement of other types of suspension bushings is generally straightforward. Consult the service information

Sway Bar Stabilizer Link Replacement Guideline:

While driving, the following signs may indicate a faulty sway bar stabilizer link:
(1).Rattling and thumping noises on rough roads
(3).Stronger inclination of the vehicle during cornering
If the sway bar stabilizer link is found to be defective, it should be replaced as described below
1.Raise vehicle and remove front wheels
Tip:Always check both stabilizer links and replace them in pairs if necessary
2.Spray fastening nuts of the stabilizer link with rust remover and let act for a few minutes

3.Loosen the lower fastening nut of the stabilizer link at the stabilizer and remove
Tip:If the ball stud also starts to turn, hold it with a suitable tool
4.Press stabilizer link out of torsion bar

5.Loosen the upper fastening nut of the stabilizer link at the suspension strut and remove it

6.Press stabilizer link at suspension strut out of bracket

7.Insert new stabilizer link at suspension strut

8.Tighten stabilizer link at suspension strut to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer
Tip:Secure the ball stud against twisting with a suitable tool

9.Insert new stabilizer link at stabilizer
10.Tighten stabilizer link at stabilizer to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer

11.Remount the front wheels. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel studs to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer
Tip:Even if replacing the stabilizer link does not directly affect the chassis setting, we recommend checking the axle setting and adjusting if necessary after working on the suspension
12.Conclude with a test drive

Frequently Asked Questions

(1).What is Sway Bar?

(2).What are the symptoms of a bad sway bar?

(3).What happens when a stabilizer bar breaks?

(4).What is the most important tip to offer to help with anti-sway bar installation?
The most important thing is to ensure is that your wheels are not hanging. The suspension should be compressed so the control arms, etc. are at the same position they would be if the vehicle were sitting at ride height. This can be done by using ramps, a drive on lift, or simply loading the wheels if the vehicle is on jack stands or a two point lift. If this is not done the arc that the bar and suspension moves through due to the excessive travel can make things very difficult to line up
