What is a Sway Bar Link?
A sway bar link, also known as a stabilizer link or anti-roll bar link, is a component of a vehicle’s suspension system. It connects the sway bar to the control arm or suspension strut. The sway bar helps to reduce body roll during cornering by transferring weight from one side of the vehicle to the other. The sway bar link allows the suspension to move up and down while preventing the sway bar from moving side-to-side.
