I have a fiat multipla and the anti roll bar you can move side to side with your hand is it surposed to do thi?

the anti roll bar on my fiat multipla moves side to side when i grab it with my hand why is it doing this and how can i stop it many thanks|||No. Either the bar or the mounting is broken. It's unsafe and an MOT failure, get it sorted.|||There should be two brackets where the mid part of the bar mounts to the frame of the car. These mounts will have rubber bushings in them, so the bar can pivot, but not easily. There are also mounts at each end of the bar where it's mounted to the suspension, usually thru an arm or link. These mounts will also have rubber bushings in them, sometimes two sets, because the bar pivots at a different arc then the suspension does, %26amp; these bushings take-up the angle changes. If you can move the sway bar ( actually an ANTI-sway bar ) with your hand, then the bushings someplace are worn %26amp; need replaced. And if some of them are worn, replace all of them. It's not a hard job, can be done in the drive way with a decent floor jack.|||the reason why the said u would have to replace the 2 of them is because the drop links have to be removed to get to the anti roll bar bushings. i would recommend u replace both better safe than sorry.
