Anti-Sway Bars: Why they are so important

Increasing anti-sway bar diameter, or adding a rear sway bar, can greatly improve handling and stability, whether in a sports car, a motor home or a heavily loaded truck. In a lowered or raised vehicle, anti-sway bars can also compensate for dynamic handling changes. Frederico Performance Anti-Sway Bars use 4140 chrome-moly spring-grade steel, and bars are entirely heat-formed and coined as one piece, for strength and resistance to torsion.

About Sway bars (wikipedia.org)

Want to understand the basic concept of sway bars? The wikipedia offers some background.

A sway bar (also stabilizer bar, anti-sway bar, roll bar, or anti-roll bar, ARB) is an automobile suspension device. It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring. A sway bar increases the suspension’s roll stiffness – its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction.
