Are there any advantages of installing sway bars on a street car?
Does it improve handling? |

Since the sway bar topic has been addressed... When I bought my car it had the tendency to turn in one direction a little better than the other also. The difference was very slight but noticeable as I drove the car every day... still do.
Turned out it had been in a not-to-serious accident and the right front suspension had been tweaked. The car would align properly but the wheelbase numbers were off. Once that was corrected by a body shop the handling was fixed and the right and left steering effort were equal again. If that or something else (like corner balance from a weak spring etc) is causing your asymmetrical handling a sway bar won't fix that. Just a thought. Good luck Go with the front bar. |
