A
stabilizer bar, also known as a sway bar, is a component in a vehicle's suspension system. Its purpose is to reduce the body roll during cornering or turning. It connects the left and right wheels together, helping to distribute the weight evenly and stabilize the vehicle, hence the name
"stabilizer bar."
Full definition
All Civic Sedan trims use a solid rear
stabilizer bar for improved crisp turn - in and body roll control.
The ride and handling is smooth, as the Polo is well - equipped with McPherson Strut with
stabilizer bar in the front and semi-independent trailing arm suspension at the rear.
In addition, body roll control for the 3.8 model is enhanced, with the rear
stabilizer bar diameter increasing from 17 mm to 18 mm.
Building on all that luxurious architecture is a new double - wishbone front and five - link rear suspension, supported by
active stabilizer bars front and rear and a traditional anti-roll bar in front.
In any case, the STS lays claim to being a performance / luxury sedan by virtue of such items as anti-lock, four - wheel disc brakes, a special touring suspension package that includes a thicker

These included a reworked Electronic Power Steering (EPS), suspension spring changes and
thicker stabilizer bars with new Teflon - lined mounting bushings.
The front suspension features an electronic -
disconnecting stabilizer bar for enhanced maneuverability when driving off road, and the rear suspension is located with CNC - machined, billet trailing arms.
Stiffer dampers, rear springs and a larger front
stabilizer bar on the Sport deliver better front roll control

The ATS's front suspension features a MacPherson - type setup with a direct -
acting stabilizer bar, while the rear receives a 5 - link independent design.
The suspension is also improved with a 4 - point bushing mounts reducing road noise and increase ride comfort, shock absorber strut rod diameter improving handling, Hydraulic rebound spring minimizing shock and a new
hollow stabilizer bar reducing some of the weight.
So, not only is the 2018 Ford Mustang the most advanced Mustang ever created thanks to a comprehensive suite of advanced new safety, technology, comfort and convenience features, including new shock absorbers, a new cross-axis joint in the rear suspension and innovative
new stabilizer bars, you get to choose which engine is put under the hood.
The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) is available as an option, which can disconnect the front and rear
stabilizer bars at speeds below 40 mph for greater wheel articulation.
The new sedan comes equipped with active
stabilizer bars as well as Lexus Dynamic Handling System, which features independent front and rear steering — think Porsche GT3 RS.
Damper tuning and spring rates were revised to provide a smooth highway ride while a new rear lower control arm and stiffened
stabilizer bar bushings improve stiffness and handling for better cornering response.
Compared to the Civic Hatchback LX, unique rear suspension tuning for the new Civic Type R includes a 1.6 - times higher spring rate, a 2.4 - times higher
stabilizer bar rate, and bushings that are over twice as firm.
Plus, an
integrated stabilizer bar increases surface contact between the base and vehicle seat, providing added support and leverage for a secure install.
In addition to adaptive dampers, suspension upgrades over the Civic EX-T include stiffer spring rates, more
rigid stabilizer bars (+7 percent front, +26 percent rear), and solid front and rear compliance bushings, the latter shared with the track - focused Civic Type R.

uses stabilizer bars to help the car maintain composure when the laws of physics tell it to go tumbling off the road, it doesn't have the precise feel of that in the Evo, or even the Mazdaspeed3.
The fuel tank capacity is 19 US gallons or 16 UK gallons or 72 L. [citation needed] Additional front and rear brake cooling ducts are added, and a full NISMO tuned suspension is installed, including a hollow 17.3 mm rear
stabilizer bar from the NISMO performance division.
On all models, new shock absorbers make for better ride control, a new cross-axis joint in the rear suspension leads to increased lateral stiffness, and innovative
stabilizer bars bring sharper response and handling.»
