Addco's anti-sway kits are engineered to optimize the suspension on your vehicle. With an Addco sway bar, your vehicle will lean less and handle better! You'll have better control when maneuvering through lane changes and tight turns! Each bar is manufactured from high carbon steel, hardened and stress-relieved. End link bushings (not included in all kits) are polyurethane. Manufactured Under ISO9002 Regulations and includes a lifetime limited warranty!
THE PROBLEM
Let’s face it, most decisions made by the automakers are based on one factor – cost. Without a doubt, it’s less expensive to manufacture and install smaller anti-sway bars, or in some cases, leave them off completely!
Our stock suspension does an adequate job in most situations. Where you may run into a problem (no pun intended) is when you need to make a sudden lane change to avoid an accident or when you find that curve in the road is a little sharper than you thought. As you vehicle begins to turn, the body will ” roll” transferring weight to the outside wheels. This causes the front end to “plow”, or what is technically known as understeer. The result – your vehicle wants to keep going straight and you’re out of control!
THE SOLUTION
With the addition of a set of ADDCO anti-sway bars, body roll and understeer will be greatly reduced resulting in a safer, more balanced suspension.
ADDCO carries the world’s largest line of anti-sway bars to fit virtually any vehicle. We’ve been supplying suspension components for over 38 years, and we’re committed to making your vehicle the safest on the road.
HANDLING
Neutral Steer - The front and rear of the vehicle will drift an equal amount and you will end up close to the starting point (actually, you will end up a little further out since the front and rear are drifting the same).
Understeer - Front tire drift causes the vehicle to refuse to turn as sharply as the direction of the wheels are pointed. If the wheels and the throttle are held steady, the vehicle will make an ever widening circle.
Oversteer - Rear tire drift is greater than that of the front and the rear tends to “spin out”. The vehicle will end up closer to the center of the circle because the rear tire drift changes the direction inward.
Tire Drift - The transfer of weight to the outside front wheel with an inadequate front or rear bar distorts the tires so they actually drift sideways during cornering.
BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER
Even a small increase in bar diameter provides a major increase in anti-sway bar effectiveness. Play it safe and stick with ADDCO’s recommendations to achieve the level of handling you desire.
