Abstract
A modular anti-sway bar assembly for heavy duty vehicles. The anti-sway bar has multiple components including a main torsion bar which is equipped at each end with a splined connecting surface. The splined ends of the main torsion bar allow it to be easily disconnected and removed from the vehicle. Each of the splined ends of the main torsion bar is gripped by an arm, which is generally horizontally oriented and which is connected by a vertical link to a wheel end. The main torsion bar is guided along its length and restrained from axial motion by a pair of support bushings, each of which is held in a pocket in a suspension side plate. The main torsion bar passes through openings in the side plates.
