sway bars

Anti-lean suspension links

Sway bars are metal rods in a vehicle's suspension system that connect opposite wheels, reducing body roll during turns.

When the car leans into a curve, the bar twists to transfer force between sides, keeping the chassis more level: The mechanic recommended upgrading the sway bars for better handling.

Also called anti-roll bars or stabilizer bars.
