An anti-roll bar, also referred to as a stabilizer or sway bar, is a bar or tube
which connects some part of the left and right sides of the suspension system. On
independent suspension systems, the connection point is usually the lower
control arm.
Most cars have a front anti-roll bar, and most sports cars are going to have both a
front and rear bar. After market bars are usually going to be stiffer than the stock ones
and offer adjustability.
Their purpose is to improve your car's lateral stability without stiffening normal (straight line) suspension movement. Anti-roll bars minimize body roll, which stabilizes the tire contact patch for maximum traction.
That's important because all of the weight and power of your vehicle is transmitted to the road
over a mere handfull of square inches called the tire contact patch.
A properly selected anti-roll bar will reduce body roll in corners for improved cornering traction,
but will not increase the harshness of the ride, or reduce the effectiveness of the tire
to maintain good road surface contact.
We offer three choices for the 944/968 owner depending on your purpose or budget. The Top of the line Tarett
fully adjustable, the Weltmeister fully adjustable, and the factory 968 M030 bars.
