Are you hearing a persistent clunking or rattling noise from one corner of your car every time you drive over a bump or uneven patch of road in Malaysia? The most likely culprit is a broken sway bar link (or stabilizer link). While not a breakdown that will leave you stranded, it's a safety issue that needs attention. MyMechanic can diagnose and often fix this common suspension problem on the roadside.
The sway bar (also called an anti-roll bar or stabilizer bar) is a simple but crucial part of your car's suspension. It's a metal bar that connects the left and right wheels. Its job is to resist body roll when you go around a corner, keeping the car flatter and more stable. The sway bar links are the short rods that connect the ends of the sway bar to the main suspension components.
When one of these links fails, the symptoms are usually very clear and distinct.
You can still drive the car with a broken sway bar link, but your handling and stability are compromised, so it should be done with caution and repaired as soon as possible. The fix is straightforward: the old, broken link is unbolted, and a new one is installed in its place.
For many common makes and models, this is a service that MyMechanic can perform at your location in Malaysia. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the noise to confirm the problem and replace the broken link on the spot, restoring your car's stability and eliminating the annoying clunking sound.
