Increasing
anti-sway bar diameter, or adding a rear sway bar,
can greatly improve handling and stability, whether
in a sports car, a motor home or a heavily loaded
truck. In a lowered or raised vehicle, anti-sway bars
can also compensate for dynamic handling changes.
Hellwig Anti-Sway Bars use 4140 chrome-moly spring-grade
steel, and bars are entriely heat-formed and coined
as one piece, for strength and resistance to torsion.

Body
Roll Resistance
Body
roll is reduced by the torsional effect of Hellwig
Anti-Sway Bars, which transfer pressure from outboard
wheels to inboard wheels in a turn. That means weight
is more evenly distributed to all four wheels, helping
to keep your vehicle more level with the road, and
improving your overall control.

Pre-assemble the sway bar before installation.
Install bar, making sure to leave it loose enough
for as needed adjustments. When you are satisfied
with the alignment of the end links and clearance
on the bar, you can then tighten it to the recommend
torque ratings.
