RODA SERVICE
Replace Sway Bar Links
Sway bar links connect your vehicle’s suspension to the stabilizer bar, helping reduce body roll and improve handling. Over time, these links wear out or loosen, leading to clunking noises, reduced stability, and uneven handling — especially when turning or going over bumps.

THE RODA WAY
Our Sway Bar Link Replacement service restores balance and control, making your ride smoother, quieter, and safer. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
Why Estimates May Vary
$270 - $360 with RodaCare
$300 - $400
Our goal is full transparency — pricing may vary based on:
- Vehicle make and suspension design (some vehicles have front and rear sway bars requiring different links)
- Quality of replacement parts (standard vs. heavy-duty or OEM components)
- Extent of wear or corrosion (rusted hardware may need additional labor for removal)
We’ll always provide an exact quote after inspection — no surprises, ever.
When You Need This
Worn or damaged sway bar links can affect how your vehicle handles, especially during turns or uneven roads. Common signs include:
Clunking or Rattling Noises
Noise coming from the suspension area when driving over bumps often indicates worn joints or bushings.
Increased Body Roll During Turns
Excessive leaning or instability while cornering suggests the sway bar links are no longer holding tension properly.
Uneven or Loose Handling
A “loose” or unstable steering feel can come from a broken or disconnected sway bar link.
Routine Suspension Maintenance
Replacing sway bar links along with shocks, struts, or bushings helps maintain a balanced suspension system.
