What are some of the ways I can reduce my car's body roll?
I don't like slowing down for those wonderful curves on the freeway, yet don't like the body roll I experience.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
(heh, guess I'll have to change my sig)

 

IPD swaybars, sport springs, and/or koni or bilstein struts.I wouldstart with theswaybars. Best results if done allat once.

Like the previous poster stated...

IPD USA sway bars are the best way to decrease body roll. I had them on my 1995 850 N/A and I was in a near accident and I was able to steer out of it and I think if I hadn't had them installed I would be dead and or seriously injured and the car totaled.

I also had lowering springs installed at the time and a strut brace as well.

- IPD USA Sways
- Shocks/Struts, Bilstein or KONI's
- Lowering Springs
- Strut Brace

Personally I would do these all at once if I had the money. Because afterward you should do an alignment and to do an alignment after each would be costly.

 

Thank God you weren't in the accident. We would be lost without your knowledge.

 

Thanks for the responses.
This summer (June and July) I replaced sway bar bushings, sway bar links, front struts (insulators, upper spring seats and bearings), and last month, rear shocks, all to the tune of $1833.00. That was for stock parts, and most of that was for labor.

Who makes the stock parts? (front struts were $122 each, and rear shocks were $99 each)

I guess I better hit the sway bars next.

Even though I get the body roll, the car still sticks to the road, so luckily, no accidents for me either.

If I do have one, I couldn't have a better car than a Volvo.

 

True that. Love Volvo. A good set of tires can also help. Not sure who makes the stock suspensionparts.

 

I've got Goodyear Assurance tires I bought May of 2007, and had the car aligned and re-aligned after all the front end work. Other than the body roll, it drives so nicely after all that.
