anti-roll bar
Cornering stability device
An anti-roll bar is a metal rod connecting opposite wheels of a vehicle to reduce body lean during cornering.
When one wheel rises, the bar transfers force to the other side, keeping the chassis more level.
Also called a sway bar or stabilizer bar.
The mechanic recommended stiffer anti-roll bars for track driving.
