Sway bar

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Anti-roll bar.

An anti-roll bar (roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is an automobilesuspension part that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It links opposite front or rear wheels to a torsion spring using short lever arms for anchors. This increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns.
