Q: Why do you need an aftermarket sway bar?

A: A short explanation of why you need an aftermarket sway bar is that it helps improve your vehicle's handing and gives you, the driver, more control of the car. For example, if you're taking a right hand turn at high speed, the car begins to lean to the left and put more load on the left side tires, whereas the tires on the right hand side of the car start to lose contact with the road surface. Because of this, they aren't able to work effectively and efficiently in getting the car to rotate through the turn.

Q: How does a sway bar work?

A: Following the law of inertia, an object in motion wants to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. In this case, the outside force to your vehicle is a change direction. As the mass of your vehicle corners, its inertia is causing the car to "roll" to the outside of the turn. This rolling affect causes the car to become unbalanced and "unplanted." The purpose of the sway bar is reduce this action and keep the body of your vehicle level, while maintaining traction and control as the weight is shifted from side to side. The transfer of loads through the sway bar can improve your vehicle's handling?

Q: Does your Sway bar come with bushings?

A: With only a few exceptions all sway bar kits come with bushings. Kits that do not have bushings are designed to mount without them.
