Do I Need to Replace the Sway Bar Link When Modifying Coilovers?

[ONoah]

Modifying coilovers may require replacing the sway bar link depending on the specific needs. Introduction to Sway Bar Links: The sway bar link, commonly known as "Li Zi Chuan" in Chinese, is an auxiliary elastic component in a car's suspension system. As part of some vehicle suspensions, it primarily connects the anti-roll bar to the left and right shock absorbers or lower control arms. Due to its resemblance to a candied fruit skewer, it is nicknamed "Li Zi Chuan." Function of Sway Bar Links: In vehicles with segmented suspension systems, some models are equipped with anti-roll bars. The sway bar link connects both ends of the anti-roll bar to other components of the vehicle. It attaches to the shock absorber via a spherical joint, and since the shock absorber extends to the wheel, the sway bar link enables the anti-roll bar to function during driving and steering. Adjustable sway bar links can modify the parameters of the anti-roll bar, improving the vehicle's handling and shock absorption capabilities, thereby reducing excessive body roll during turns.
