All the swaybar dors is to force the front wheels to "fight" one
another in their up & down travel, thus reducing the bodyroll (which
is why they're called antirollbars in most of the world). Thus slop in
the swaybar bushes is hardly going to have a noticable effect (unlike
the bushes in the suspension itself!). But it doesn't hurt to have
healthy bushes anyway.

Anyone know where you casn get true performance suspension bushes for our vans?
