The stabilizer bar links are supposed to fit incredibly snugly, without any play or movement except between rubber bushings. When the links are worn out, the sway bar will begin to make these sounds especially when you're driving around corners or over a speed bump.

Its function is to use torsion (twisting resistance) force in the same way a coil spring works. Using the GM truck application as an example, one end of the torsion bar remains stationary mounted to the frame cross member. The opposite end inserts into the lower control arm.

Coil springs also package easier in modern unibody vehicles, because the gap in the coils leaves room for the shock absorber. ... The coil spring needs its own pocket and support engineered into the chassis, while a torsion bar simply slides underneath it.

We can therefore conclude that rocker panels play an important part when it comes to safety. Older body-on-frame vehicles with a separate frame providing support are not affected the same way by rocker panel rot.

Lap bars can be found on low-impact rides as well as on coasters. These must be inspected for proper operation and for acceptable condition of components such as foam padding and locking mechanisms. These systems can be designed with a ratcheting lock or a hydraulic lock.

Yes, a surge protector isn't designed to last forever and will eventually wear out. The bad news is that it's almost impossible to tell when a surge protector wears out. Which means, you might think your appliances are protected against dangerous power surges when they really aren't.

DBA rotors are great. Used them (old slotted design, replaced now by the T2 model?) in track cars doing a collective 1000-1800 laps a day. No issues other then warping if the car has been sitting too long after coming in hot. This would happen on any rotor.

Most people never assume that these hard steel components can go bad or wear out and in most cases, they would be correct. The most common cause of a bad or failing wheel stud is due to improper installation by tire service technicians, over torquing of lug nuts, or lug nuts that are not tight enough.

The steering wheel will appear to be "loose", and the body will sway from left to right more due to the fact that the stabilizer bar links and bushings are wearing out.
