What is the material of Sway Bar or Anti Roll Bar of vehicle?
Depends on how hard you drive. Removing it won't mean unconditional, instant death, but it will make the car tilt more when cornering and may cause or contribute to other changes to the wheel...
The sway bar bushing is located inside the the clamp that secures the sway bar to the frame. They use a busing to allow a little flex in the sway bar but not enough to cause a clank sound everytime...
in my case, they made a clunking sound, much like a ball joint clunk. except not only did it sound near the wheels, but also underneith my feet. 2003 Saturn ion
