A mechanical linkage, one each for the front and rear suspensions, that helps transfer more weight to the inside tires in the corners and helps keep all four tires gripping the track. The driver adjusts the anti-roll bars with levers in the cockpit. Also called a sway bar.
A suspension element that reduces body roll by resisting any unequal vertical motion between wheels that it is connected to. An anti-roll bar improves vehicle handling by increasing stability during sudden maneuvers.
A bar linking suspension parts which can be adjusted to alter handling characteristics.
This suspension element is a long torsion bar (essentially a rod that can twist) mounted across the vehicle from one wheel to the wheel on the opposite side. By transferring movement and force from one side of the vehicle to the other, an anti-roll bar car restrict body lean (or roll) during cornering. Vehicles may have anti-roll bars in the front, rear or both.
torsion bar between left and right ends of an axle - it increases roll-stiffness which can improve on-road handling but can also restrict axle-articulation off-road.
Forms part of the suspension assembly and helps to support the car when cornering, by resisting the tendency for the body to roll.
A metal bar mounted transversely across the car, connecting the two sides of the suspension, which counteracts the natural tendency for the car to lean when cornering.
It is a bar used to connect the right and left of the suspension to minimize body-roll during hard cornering. This is to achieve the most parallel contact path between the tyre and the road. Go Back Top
This is a mechanical linkage, set up for both the front and rear suspension, that helps keep the car from "rolling over" in the corners. This complex linkage helps keep all four tires gripping the track, and is adjustable by the driver using levers within the cockpit. Also called a sway bar.
Also known as a sway bar, anti-sway bar, or stabilizer bar (not to be confused with a roll bar). A steel torsion bar running across the car as part of the front and, less frequently, rear suspension layout and used to reduce body roll during cornering

A suspension element (used at the front, the rear, or both ends of a car) that reduces body roll by resisting any unequal vertical motion between the pair of wheels to which it is connected. An anti-roll bar does not affect suspension stiffness when both wheels are deflected equally in the same direction. Often incorrectly called a sway bar.
An anti-roll bar is a torsion bar that controls unwanted lateral body movement, and it is the easiest way to balance understeer versus oversteer. Decrease the stiffness of your rear anti-roll bar to reduce oversteer. Increase rear anti-roll stiffness to increase oversteer.
A steel rod or tube that connects the right and left suspension members together to resist roll or swaying of the vehicle. An anti-roll bar improves the handling of a vehicle by increasing stability during cornering or evasive maneuvers. Most vehicles have front anti-roll bars. Anti-roll bars at both the front and rear wheels can reduce roll further. See also: SWAY BAR or STABILIZER BAR.
It is a bar, which acts as a suspension element and improves vehicle handling by increasing stability during sudden shakedowns. It acts as a suspension element that reduces body roll by resisting any unbalanced vertical motion between wheels with which it is connected to.
(Also referred to as "Sway bar" and "Stabilizer bar.") A steel rod that links the right and left suspension structure to the frame. This decreases body roll while cornering, which increases cornering stability. Most cars have anti-roll bars in the front but some have a rear one.
