Ford Explorer Sway Bars link the left and right suspension parts to limit body roll and control the handling stability. The torsion bar connects opposite wheels, so when one side moves, the other follows. The Sway Bars reduce lean in corners and over bumps. This Sway Bars is for enhancing the roll stiffness which can boost the grip without making the ride springs harsh. Thus, the Ford Explorer boosts the comfort as well as control of the vehicle. The Ford chassis and suspension arms are connected by bushings and end links on the bar. Worn bushings or loose links on a ball-joint style can create more body sway, vague steering and clunks, which signalling sway bar service. The Sway Bars for the Ford Explorer are solid and not likely to bend, but impacts can bend them, rust can weaken them, and stretched link holes. While the suspension is both loaded and dangling, a driver should examine the Sway Bars for fractured or ripped bushings and slack in link sockets. Links that lack replaceable bushings accept fairly simple kits, while links with a combination of fixed bushings and ball joints must be replaced on the Explorer as either part wears.
