Basically, if the steering rack, tie rods, subframe, or control arm bolts have been altered or the car has been lowered, you need an alignment. Removing the sway bar, and replacing it would not require an alignment, unless something that I mentioned above had to be moved to access the sway bar.
Beside above, can sway bar links cause vibration? It is also known as anti-roll bar, sway bar and anti-sway bar. The stabilizer bar should be checked for stiffness. This causes side to side motion in the car which affects steering and handling of the vehicle, which may cause shaking or unstable driving conditions.
Subsequently, question is, what are the symptoms of a bad sway bar link?
Some of the common symptoms of a bad sway bar bushing or sway bar links going bad are:
- clunking noise,
- rattling noise,
- knocking uneven noise road,
- lack of stability when driving and noise going over speed bumps.
- poor handling during turns.
Why do sway bar links go bad?
If you’re driving down the road and you start to hear a clunking, rattling or metal-on-metal scratching noise, it is possibly the stabilizer bar links causing the sound. 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.
