An anti roll bar (anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is a part of many automobile suspensions that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities.  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. An anti-sway or anti-roll bar is intended to force each side of the vehicle to lower, or rise, to similar heights, to reduce the sideways tilting (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps.  With the bar removed, a vehicle's wheels can tilt away by much larger distances (as shown by the SUV image above). Although there are many variations in design, a common function is to force the opposite wheel's shock absorber, spring or suspension rod to lower, or rise to a similar level as the other wheel.  In a f
