The anti-roll bar consists of an elastic bracket and two struts or rods. The struts are one of the elements that bond the body and suspension together. They help to improve vehicle dynamics and safety.

The sway bar is a conventional rod with pivot joints welded along the edges. These connections include a yoke and a pivot pin and are threaded at the ends to attach the struts to other suspension components. To protect the linkage components from premature wear due to the ingress of dust and dirt, the articulated joints are closed with anthers from above.

You can find out about the malfunction by the characteristic knock that occurs when you hit an obstacle. In some cases, the car starts to get out of the roll hard. If crunching sounds occur when the steering wheel is turned, then the boot is most likely torn.
