About this Sway Bar Link

The KARLYN 12-179 sway bar link connects the anti-roll bar to the suspension, so the bar can limit body roll in corners. Its small ball joints or bushings wear over time and are a common source of knocking noises.

Frequently asked questions

What does a sway bar link do?

It transfers force between the sway bar and the suspension arm or strut. When the car leans in a corner, the bar resists the roll through the links, keeping the car flatter.

What are the signs of a worn sway bar link?

A knocking or rattling noise over bumps, especially at low speed on uneven roads, more body roll than usual, or a torn boot or visible play in the link's ball joints.

Should I replace sway bar links in pairs?

Replacing both sides on the same axle is recommended, since they wear at a similar rate and it keeps the handling balanced. Check the sway bar bushings at the same time.

Is anything special needed during installation?

On many cars the link's ball stud spins while tightening; hold it with a hex or Torx bit through the stud while you torque the nut. Tighten with the suspension loaded if your car's procedure requires it.

How do I make sure this sway bar link fits my car?

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
