What had happened was a connector that secures the steering mechanism to the sway bar had come loose and eventually detached.
We'll tune dampers, we'll tune shocks and even sway bar mounts if necessary.
The race teams searching for the best combination of shocks, springs and sway bars.
A suspension link on each sway bar is replaced with a hydraulic actuator.
As for chassis setups, it's the sway bars and springs that give the driver the ability to roll left to right.
A lot of times that means softer springs, different sway bars, things like that.
The suspension system also includes shocks and/or struts, and sway bars.
A sway bar chain broke at Michigan when we were running in the top 10.
The suspension is all full of electro-trickery as well, with even adjustable sway bars front and rear.
Joe Aguiar testified that he assisted his brother in up-grading the 1987 Ford Mustang and confirmed that this car was never equipped with either sway bars or a nitrous oxide fuel system.
The front sway bar controls weight shifting from left to right as the car rolls through the comers.
The strut assemblies fore and aft are new; there's a rear sway bar added to handle cornering loads.

John Andretti subbed this time and finished 25th, despite being black-flagged because the No.8 was not up to track speed after losing a sway bar bolt.
To recap today's lesson, we have fully locking differentials, skid plates, steel rails, disconnecting sway bars, ground clearance, oversize stiff tires, and the power to move it all.
