Trailmaster Sway Bar Link
Sway bar is known in other names such as stabilizer bar, anti-sway bar, roll bar, or anti-roll bar. It is an automobile suspension component that connects opposite (left and right) wheels together via short lever arms that are linked by a torsion spring. The main role of the sway bar is to increase the stiffness of the suspension. By increasing the suspension stiffness, the suspension components are prevented from rolling independent of the spring rate in the vertical direction during turns or cornering. During cornering, the suspended or sprung mass of the vehicle rotates on its roll axis. This tends to make the vehicle lean towards the outside of the turn, which could be disastrous if excessive because it can potentially cause a roll over. The sway bar makes sure that the center of gravity does not shift too much. In effect, the sway bar counteracts the effect of centrifugal force. On the other hand the main role of the Trailmaster sway bar link is to secure the sway bar components together and also to absorb some suspension load. Sway bar link helps in assuring maximum tire grip during cornering. Tire grip is essential in the stability of the vehicle. Tire grip is directly dependent on the roll stiffness provided by the sway bar. In this manner, automobile designers do not need to increase the stiffness of suspension springs. Body lean is effectively reduced, thereby improving body control without compromising ride comfort. Sway bar link allows the sway bar to effectively control the lean of the vehicle during turns. When it is already time to replace the sway bar link of your vehicle, you can rely on Trailmaster sway bar link to provide excellent service, which is at par with the original component.
