Stabilizer bar

Stabilizers improve the car's tracking and, by extension, a car's handling characteristics. At the same time they reduce body lean and lateral body roll. The stabilizer connects both wheels with a u-shaped bracket made of spring steel. Leverage applied to one side is equalized by being applied to the opposite side. The resulting improvement in road holding makes cornering safer and more comfortable.
