Toyota Prius v Sway bar replacement
Why would my Toyota Prius v sway bar need to be replaced?
Your Toyota Prius v's suspension system is comprised of many components, one of which is the sway bar.
Also known as an anti-roll bar, the sway bar connects both sides of your Toyota Prius v’s suspension together to control the amount of body roll present when cornering.
Sway bars may be fitted to the front and rear of your Toyota Prius v, although some smaller Toyota Prius v’s only had a front sway bar fitted.
Working in conjunction with your Toyota Prius v’s springs and shock absorbers, the sway bar provides stable and predictable handling through both low and high-speed corners.
The sway bar is connected to the body of your Toyota Prius v with rubber bushes, and joins either directly to the shock absorber or to the control arms via sway bar end links, which are fitted with ball joints at both ends to allow for movement - these components are more common to wear out over time, but in rare cases, the sway bar itself will need to be replaced to return your Toyota Prius v’s handling back to factory specification.
So if you feel your Toyota Prius v’s handling has degraded or you can feel excess body roll when cornering, book an inspection or replacement through AutoGuru, and get your Toyota Prius v feeling good as new in no time!
