Description
Sway Bar Sway bars transmit torsional forces occurring between the body and the chassis to the stabilizer of the particular axle. Depending on the design of the front or rear axle, they form the necessary connection for optimal interplay between wheel guidance and stabilizer. The body roll of the vehicle during cornering is minimized, ensuring safe roadholding. 2Pcs Suspension New Front Stabilizer Sway Bar End Link for 2003-2004 Kia Sorento Sway Bar Sway bars transmit torsional forces occurring between the body and the chassis to the stabilizer of the particular axle. Depending on the design of the front or rear axle, they form the necessary connection for optimal interplay between wheel guidance and stabilizer. The body roll of the vehicle during cornering is minimized, ensuring safe roadholding. Some control arm bushings can be replaced with the arm still on the vehicle; others require removal of the arm. On a few applications, control arm bushings are threaded into the control arm, but most are press fitted. Press fitted bushings can be removed and installed with a bushing driver. Some may be removed with an air chisel, and some may be pressed into the arm with the retaining nut. This method can require periodic vibration of the control arm to coax the bushing into place. Care must be used in bushing replacement to avoid damage to the control arm. To properly position the bushing, the weight of the vehicle must be on the suspension before tightening the nut on most designs. Check the service information for the vehicle for the proper procedure. Replacement of other types of suspension bushings is generally straightforward. Consult the service information. Sway Bar Stabilizer Link Replacement Guideline: While driving, the following signs may indicate a faulty sway bar stabilizer link: (1).Rattling and thumping noises on rough roads. (2).Imprecise vehicle handling. (3).Stronger inclination of the vehicle during cornering. If the sway bar stabilizer link is found to be defective, it should be replaced as described below. Picture(A) 1.Raise vehicle and remove front wheels. Tip:Always check both stabilizer links and replace them in pairs if necessary. 2.Spray fastening nuts of the stabilizer link with rust remover and let act for a few minutes. Picture(B) 3.Loosen the lower fastening nut of the stabilizer link at the stabilizer and remove. Tip:If the ball stud also starts to turn, hold it with a suitable tool. 4.Press stabilizer link out of torsion bar. Picture(C) 5.Loosen the upper fastening nut of the stabilizer link at the suspension strut and remove it. Tip:If the ball stud also starts to turn, hold it with a suitable tool. Picture(D) 6.Press stabilizer link at suspension strut out of bracket. Picture(E) 7.Insert new stabilizer link at suspension strut. Picture(F) 8.Tighten stabilizer link at suspension strut to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Tip:Secure the ball stud against twisting with a suitable tool. Picture(G) 9.Insert new stabilizer link at stabilizer. 10.Tighten stabilizer link at stabilizer to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Tip:Secure the ball stud against twisting with a suitable tool. Picture(H) 11.Remount the front wheels. Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel studs to the tightening torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Tip:Even if replacing the stabilizer link does not directly affect the chassis setting, we recommend checking the axle setting and adjusting if necessary after working on the suspension. 12.Conclude with a test drive. Frequently Asked Questions (1).What is sway bar? An sway bar (anti-sway bar, anti-roll bar, stabilizer bar) is a part of many automobile suspensions that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring. A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness-its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction. (2).What are the symptoms of a bad sway bar? Some of the common symptoms of a bad sway bar bushing or sway bar links going bad are: clunking noise, rattling noise, knocking uneven noise road, lack of stability when driving and noise going over speed bumps. poor handling during turns. (3).What happens when a stabilizer bar breaks? Because a sway bar helps the car's suspension to put more pressure on loaded springs, a broken sway bar means that the car's suspension will not be able to handle corners as well or as quickly. While it is possible to drive with a broken sway bar, as a precaution do not take corners with excessive speeds. (4).What is the most important tip to offer to help with anti-sway bar installation? The most important thing is to ensure is that your wheels are not hanging. The suspension should be compressed so the control arms, etc. are at the same position they would be if the vehicle were sitting at ride height. This can be done by using ramps, a drive on lift, or simply loading the wheels if the vehicle is on jack stands or a two point lift. If this is not done the arc that the bar and suspension moves through due to the excessive travel can make things very difficult to line up. (5).How long will it take to replace the front sway bar? The front sway bar is a little more difficult than the rear sway bar install. But it isn't very hard at all. The only reason it takes longer is because you have to remove a couple of trays, so it still won't be a problem. If you are performing this upgrade yourself and you have the proper tools then this job shouldn't take more than 1-1/2 hours.
