Before |
|
 |
With a typical stock suspension,
not only will you experience body roll, but your vehicle will
understeer and "plow" through corners. |
After |
|
 |
With the simple addition of ADDCO
Anti-Sway bars, you will notice a drastic improvement in handling
substantially less body roll and better balance. |
|
| The Problem |
| Let's face it, most
decisions made by the automakers are based on one factor - cost. Without
a doubt, it's less expensive to manufacture and install smaller anti-sway
bars, or in some cases, leave them off completely! |
| Our
stock suspension
does an adequate job in most situations. Where you may run into a
problem (no pun intended) is when you need to make a sudden lane change
to avoid an accident or when you find that curve in the road is a
little sharper than you thought. As you vehicle begins to turn, the
body will " roll" transferring weight to the outside wheels.
This causes the front end to "plow", or what is technically
known as understeer. The result - your vehicle wants to keep going
straight and you're out of control! |
 |
|
| The Solution |
| With
the addition of a set of ADDCO anti-sway bars, body roll and understeer
will be greatly reduced resulting in a safer, more balanced suspension. |
| ADDCO
carries the world's
largest line of anti-sway bars to fit virtually any vehicle. We've
been supplying suspension components for over 38 years, and we're
committed to making your vehicle the safest on the road. |

| Neutral Steer |
| The front and rear of the vehicle will drift an
equal amount and you
will end up
close to the starting point (actually, you will end up a little further
out since the front and rear are drifting the same). |
| Understeer |
| Front tire drift causes
the vehicle to refuse to turn as sharply as the direction of the wheels
are pointed. If the wheels and the throttle are held steady, the vehicle
will make an ever widening circle. |
| Oversteer |
| Rear
tire drift is greater than that of the front and the rear tends to
"spin out". The vehicle will end up closer to the center
of the circle because the rear tire drift changes the direction inward. |
| Tire Drift |
| The transfer of weight to the outside front wheel
with an inadequate
front or rear bar distorts the tires so they actually drift sideways
during cornering. |
Bigger is
not Always Better
|
| Even
a small increase in bar diameter provides
a major increase
in anti-sway bar effectiveness. Play it safe and stick with ADDCO's
recommendations to achieve the level of handling you desire. |
