Where and what is the "Anti roll bar link arm" on a peugeot 206 and what can damage them?

Firstly, the anti roll bar link arm is the link between the anti roll bar and the suspension, there is normally a ball joint on each end which can become worn and, or, disconnected, but to fail on severely misshapen is a new one on me unless the vehicle has been towed and someone has tied the rope to link and bent it out of shape..|||This is an arm that links the two suspension struts. Damage is usually caused by impact from an accident.





It may, on older vehicles have become damaged over time ad part of normal wear and tear, but the damage would be clearly visible if it were to fail an MOT.





If you open the hood you can see it as the bar going between the top of the two suspension arms (above the wheels).





The bar simply prevents the car from rolling as much when you're taking corners, depending on your driving style and the extent of any damage, you may or may not notice a difference.|||Its an elongated U shaped bar I__________I


conecting the front lower wishbones of the stub axles. it is mounted to the vehicle on two points near the bends in the bar. As you go round a corner it it transfers the down force from one side of the vehicle to the other if it is damaged or bent in any way or fixings worn it is MOT failure.|||While I Cannot Honestly Speak With Any Experience On A Peugeot 206 Because I Have Never Seen Or Worked On This Brand Of Vehicle. I Can Say That The Anti Sway Bar That You Are Most Likely Referring To Is Normally The Long Metal Rod That Stretches Almost To Each Wheel (Some Cars Have These Only On Front And Some Have Them On Both Axles).


What This Anti-Sway Bar Does In Plain English Is Just As The Name Implies, It Helps The Vehicle From Swaying From Side To Side. If One Of The Links Are Broken You Will Feel As Though You Have Lost Total Control Of Your Car.


These Can Be Damaged By Running Over Debris In The Road Or Hitting Pot Holes Or Curbs. You Normally Cant Fix Them You Typically Have To Replace A Damaged One (Not Counting Links)|||running with tyres with to much pressure or hitting potholes or bumping up on kerbs or if your area has alot of speed bumps . do not buy ones from moter factors buy proper dealer parts they should last longer
