Attaches sway bar to control arm, plastic version with secured bolt The sway bar is connected to the control arms by rigid rods referred to as links. Sway bar ball joints or bushings take constant abuse that includes stress, impact, and vibration as wheels are jarred by paving bumps, pot holes, and the occasional road hazard. As a wear item, they eventually get loose or bind, leading to noises that range from creaking to loud knocking.
