Anti-Roll & Sway Bars para Honda Odyssey

Honda Odyssey Sway Bars

Your Honda Odyssey features front and rear sway bars, which reduce body roll and help the vehicle keep its line through corners. This is an important aspect of your Odyssey suspension, and you can maintain or shape that handling through your choice of replacement and upgrade Honda Odyssey sway bars.

These bars, also called stabilizer and anti-sway bars, connect the suspension system to the chassis. This connection prevents or at least diminishes body roll, which is a force that moves from the inner side of a vehicle to the outside as it corners. This force compresses the shocks and springs on the outside and lifts the tires on the inside. The stiffer this connection, the less roll and understeer you’ll experience, but the more the wheel articulation will be limited.

If your Odyssey came with either a front or rear stock bar, then OEM replacements are available. Original equipment manufacturer suspension parts are components manufactured or licensed by Honda for the Odyssey. You may also opt for OEM-style parts, which are technically aftermarket but manufactured to mirror the original Honda specifications.

Many notable aftermarket automotive brands make sway bars, strut bars, and other suspension parts for the Honda Odyssey. You can choose a product that provides more or less stiffness, adjustability, a tubular design, and so forth.

You can purchase OEM and most aftermarket parts individually. Kits are useful when you need to complete replacement because they include everything required for installation. However, if you just have a single part that’s gone bad, you can replace just that component. Some common parts that can be found individually include:

• The stabilizer bar
• Sway bar end links
• Sway bar bushings

While most bars for Odyssey vehicles are fixed, you can opt for an adjustable system, which lets you alter the stiffness without uninstalling the part. This approach is appropriate when you want a particular tune in a certain driving environment and a different tune in another.

Although you can size sway bars based on the length required, both rear and front bars for Odyssey vehicles are generally sold based on the specifics of the vehicle. The make and model of your vehicle are Honda and Odyssey, respectively. You may also need to know the model year, engine type, and trim. You may be able to find part specifications and numbers in your repair manual.
