Sway bar bushings cost in Canada
Suspension and steering parts absorb every pothole and frost heave on Canadian roads, so they wear steadily with mileage. Worn components reduce comfort, tire life, and — most importantly — control in emergency maneuvers. A worn part also throws wheel alignment off, eating through tires.
