anti-sway bar
Noun: A stabilizer bar; a rigid, typically metal, component in a vehicle's suspension system. It connects the left and right wheels (either at the front or rear) and reduces body roll or "sway" during cornering by transferring force from one side of the vehicle to the other.
The term "anti-sway bar" is used specifically in automotive contexts to describe a key part of a car or truck's chassis system. It is a technical term commonly found in discussions about vehicle handling, performance, and repair. * Installing a thicker anti-sway bar can make a car feel more stable on winding roads. * The mechanic recommended replacing the worn-out anti-sway bar links. * This truck model has an anti-sway bar as standard equipment on the rear suspension.
