A properly functioning sway bar is important for any vehicle that is built with this suspension component, but it is especially important for larger cars or trucks. Bigger, heavier vehicles require more control when turning or recovering from a bad bump in the road. If your classic car’s front end suspension or rear end suspension is giving you trouble, the answer might be to order a sway bar link and bushing set from Andersen Restorations.
What’s in Our Sway Bar Link and Bushing Sets
We carry sway bar link and bushing sets for more than a dozen makes and models of classic cars. What is in each depends on the type of classic car you have. Some just have sway bar bushings, others just have sway bar links and some have both.
Do I Need New Sway Bar Bushings or Sway Bar Links?
Your sway bar bushings and links are integral parts of your steering and suspension system, and when something goes wrong with them, it can affect your ride. Your sway bar links connect your sway bar to your struts or control arms. If yours breaks or rusts out, your car may make unusual noises like clunking and squeaking, especially while turning or when hitting a pothole or bump. You may also notice a lot of play in your steering wheel.
Your sway bar bushings help cushion your ride, and they help make turns smoother. Without a sway bar mechanism, your car would tilt when it went into turns, which can be dangerous for vehicles such as trucks and others with extra height. When your sway bar bushings are worn out, you may notice clunky turns, noise and vibration while driving, and less absorption of shock after hitting a bump.
Looking for OEM Parts for Antique Cars
Sway bar links are fairly standard, and although they may not all technically be OEM, they fully meet OEM specifications. This means they are built to OEM standards, and because most sway bar links are made of steel, they are actually better than older parts because steel is even harder today than it was years ago.
We are a leading classic car parts supplier because our customers know that the antique car restoration parts they order from us will be high quality. You can’t always be sure of this with other online antique car parts suppliers, especially when purchasing used OEM parts for classic cars. Rubber sway bar bushings in particular will not last for many years, which is why polyurethane bushings have become so popular. They’re incredibly durable and provide a smoother ride.
When you need sway bar links, sway bar bushings or any kit or component for your classic car’s front end system, rely on Andersen Restorations.
