If improving performance is on your to-do list, installing a set of aftermarket Mercedes 220 sway bars should definitely be in your top five of must-haves.

Sway bars are actually torsion springs, and can indeed have an effect on your Mercedes 220 suspension's spring rate during cornering and on rough roads. Adding aftermarket Mercedes 220 sway bars, also popularly known as "anti-roll bars," is a great way to improve the overall handling of your ride. These sway bars are generally thicker than the original Mercedes 220 sway bars, and are therefore stiffer. The result is less side-to-side lean in turns and less understeer, which means that your vehicle will handle better under most conditions.
