Balance and Stability with Anti-Sway Bars

Typical understeer problems occur when a car can't negotiate a sharp curve and "mushes out" when cornering. This explains why you see so many tire marks on sharp cloverleaves. Other common problems include tire squeal and rear wheel hop, which lead to a loss of traction.

 

With the proper anti-sway bars installed in conjunction with the use of quality tires, wide rims, and high quality shocks, the front end of your vehicle will hold a curve just as well as the rear and vice versa, thus giving good balance. Additionally, your vehicle's body will not lean on curves throwing its weight outwards and tilting the front wheels.

 

Rear Sway Bars   

In effect, it usually comes down to the bottomline or to what the automotive manufacturers think certain consumers expect. While luxury or sportmodels usually have both front and rear bars, low or mid-range vehicles normally do not and if the vehicle does, the bar is more often than not too light to make a noticeable difference. Those who demand superior performance must insist on the most economical and effective means of curing handling problems -- an ADDCO Anti-Sway Bar Kit.

Neutral Steer
Front and rear drift are equal. Car will end up close to start point. (A little further out since both ends are drifting but still pointed in the same direction.) A little oversteer would compensate for drift of both ends and result in a perfect circle.

Understeer
Front tire drift causes car to refuse to turn as sharply as the direction in which the front wheels pointed. Car can fail to "negotiate" curve. If wheel is held at given turn and throttle held constant, car will not make a true circle because front wheel drift changes its direction outward

Oversteer
Rear tire drift is greater than that of front tire and rear end tends to "spin out." Car in circle will end up closer to center of the circle because rear wheel drift changes its direction inward.

Tire Drift
Transfer of weight to outside front wheel without heavy enough rear bar (or front bar) distorts tires that actually "creep" or "drift" sideways on road surface.
