I just brought a used Honda Odyssey 04, the bar had been broken, I've been driving around with it in that condition for 5 months now and I didn't even know it. 🤔.. so please inspect everything on your possible prospects.
A sway bar itself rarely goes bad since it's a solid metal bar, but it can develop issues like cracks, corrosion, or deformation from excessive stress, or its associated bushings and end links can wear out, leading to problems.
The sway bar is a thin, tubular piece of metal bolted to the suspension on each side of the car, either at the front or the back and often both. Some vehicles are only equipped with a front sway bar.
hi, my grand cherokee sways right and left on highway at speeds after 50kms. this breaks my confidence and have to hold steering tighter and keep rolling to keep it straight on track. Is this the cause?
I just got an alignment, and as they pulled it down off the ramp, my whole steering column turned I went to look underneath my vehicle, and both of my swaybar links are barely connected and have a gap between the threads and bushings, but they said it may be my opinion, but there’s no in my steering column also no leaks from my power steering should I just replace the swaybar links since both of them aren’t even tightened down.
Can a bad sway bar cause excessive body roll? I have a an 02 Chevy avalanche that rocks back on forth on an ugly road I’ve changed the links so those are good the only thing I can notice is the sway bar is not tight I can wiggle it around but don’t know how to tighten it. Do you think that’s why I have body roll?
Yes, a bad sway bar can cause excessive body roll. This is because the sway bar's job is to reduce body roll by distributing the force when one side of the vehicle goes higher than the other, such as during turns or on uneven roads. If the sway bar is loose or damaged, it can't perform this function effectively, leading to more noticeable body roll. Tightening or replacing any worn parts connected to the sway bar, like bushings or links, should address the issue and improve stability.
Yup,i was hearing all kinds of clunking in the front passenger side😅 My baby is in the shop now❤
Great explanation now I know if I need to change my front sway bar
Thanks! Did you do it?

Thanks for the information. Very educative content.
So nice of you
Thanks so much for this video, my car is doing all of this, I was supposed to get it fixed today, but the dude canceled on me😔
Oh, sorry to hear that!
How the hell can the bar go bad? It’s a solid bar.
Bumps minor accidents hitting an animal who know how does anything happen 😂
I think what goes out is the sway bar end links

Yep
Also true.
Question can a sway bar bend just by lowering your vichile
I don’t think so
Likely sway bar bushing
You likely need bacon to get going in the morning.
I have a 2004 tahoe, when I reach to speeds 70mph my truck starts to move side to side on the back, could this be the cause?
hi, did you got it cleared or any answer to this question. my grand cherokee sways here and there on highway which gives me goosebumps.
I started having the same issue. Don’t know what it is
My 2005 Tahoe doing the same thing did you find the problem ?
Yes
My 2001 tahoe i lowered sways bad on the front
The Lord moves in mysterious sways...✌️😁👍
But the sway bar is ONLY in the front axle?

After letting off the gas rear end swings side to side?
@iz2615
how often to sway bars break? bend? What about their links?
Could be work for 5 years more o less. Depend on how you drive and how you care your vehicle. But usually broke when you go over the road driveway..
Depends on how and where you drive your car, but I would say 5 to 7 years max.

O don't mean to answer over him, but yes, I would replace both of them..
Correct

@@carcarehacks awesome!! Thanks man!👍
What causes this to break?? Other than wear and tear?
Did you hit any curb lately?
Thanks
Welcome
Left side Tyre wearing and pulling left side
Did you check the sway bar?
How about when the bushings are fused to the sway bar and do not allow it to rotate?
Fire
Are you saying butt holes?
Yes
