The correct name for this bar is the "anti-sway bar" or in some areas it is referred to as the "anti-roll bar".It reduces the amount of "tilt" the car body makes as you corner.There are generally 2 of these,front and rear.They join the suspension via 2 links and are attached to the underside of the chassis rails via 2 u shaped clamps. The clamps are held on via a pair of bolts each side.A rubber "bush" or slieve lies between the clamp and the bar to cushion the motion of the bar.These are known as the anti sway bar bushes, and will need to be replaced at least every 20k miles.They may wear out sooner if you do a lot of driving on twisty country roads.This is a d.i.y. job for any one with a pair of hands and is as easy as changing a set of spark plugs.Worn bushes result in loud knocking and thudding as you corner or drive over rough ground. It's a $20 fix so dont neglect these hard working little pieces of rubber !
