Hollow vs. Solid Stabilizer Bars: Pros, Cons, and Use Cases

Upgrading a vehicle’s stabilizer bar (aka sway bar, anti-roll bar) is a common modification to improve handling, reduce body roll, and sharpen cornering balance. Yet one frequently debated decision is whether to use a solid steel bar or a hollow (tubular) bar. Both have advantages and trade-offs. The choice affects stiffness, weight, durability, cost, and … Read more

The Impact of Bushing Material Choice on Sway Bar Efficiency and Longevity

When upgrading or maintaining your vehicle’s suspension, one of the often-overlooked components is the sway bar bushing. These bushings connect the sway (stabilizer) bar to the chassis, allowing it to twist under load while controlling body roll. The material used for these bushings significantly influences how effective the sway bar is, how long the assembly … Read more

How Stabilizer Bar Thickness and Material Influence Suspension Performance

When it comes to improving vehicle handling, stability, and overall driving dynamics, the stabilizer bar — also known as a sway bar or anti-roll bar — plays a crucial role. Often overlooked compared to shocks or springs, this simple yet vital suspension component is responsible for reducing body roll during cornering, keeping the vehicle more … Read more
