Volvo V50 Sway Bar

The Volvo V50 Sway Bar is there not just to make the wagon stable in quick turns, reducing the body lean, but also to make everyday motor driving safer and more stable. The bar, which is mounted in the suspension, is connected to the left and right wheels by short lever arms attached to a torsion spring; thus, when one wheel goes over a bump or one wheel gets loaded in a corner and the steel is twisting, it distributes the load across the axle and increases roll rigidity. It is a simple, yet ingenious lever-and-spring arrangement installed in every new Volvo model as it provides comfort and control without adding unnecessary weight. It is based on the patent filed in 1919, but was omitted on many pre-war motor cars because their springs were already firm; when the softer coil springs became more common in the 1950s, the Sway Bar became nearly universal, and was therefore fitted to each generation of the modern Volvo V50. The model has been applied in its production run with the same basic anti-roll design at the front and rear, so when adjustments are required it is in the position in which the bar is mounted and the thickness of the steel tube and not a totally new design. A fatter Sway Bar offers sharper handling, but a slimmer one ensures the ride is even more sedate, and Volvo can tailor the car to the real world, and whether it is a wide or a slim model the Sway Bar is still a quiet companion that turns unnoticed under the floorpan, helping keep the occupants straight and brimming with confidence.

OEM parts are the only choice for top quality and real functionality. They pass strict checks, and they match Volvo's factory specs, so installation is easy.
