The sway bar, also called a stabilizer bar, connects the left and right sides of your suspension to reduce body roll during turns. Sway bar links attach each end of the bar to the suspension components, while bushings mount the bar to the frame or subframe. When links or bushings wear out, you hear annoying clunking and rattling noises over every bump, and the vehicle may feel less stable in turns.
Sway bar links are one of the most common front-end wear items, and Spokane's road conditions accelerate their failure. Each link contains small ball joints that wear from constant movement over rough pavement, potholes, and uneven surfaces. The rubber or polyurethane frame bushings dry out, crack, and allow the sway bar to shift and rattle. Cold winter temperatures make rubber bushings even more prone to hardening and cracking.
The good news is that sway bar link and bushing replacement is a relatively affordable repair that makes a big difference in ride quality and noise. At Clutch Auto Repair in North Spokane, we use quality replacement links and bushings that restore quiet, stable handling. Call (509) 487-0161 for a quote.
