Page 1: Customer Feature - Evan Harvey, Sway bars

We had a 1990 740 for a while and recently sold it to somebody in the area and now my mom drives a 2003 V70 that my grandpa sold to us. I've gone to a couple of other Volvo parts distributors but none have the selection or service (and in one case, speed) that IPD has and I always check IPD first when I need parts.

If you know ipd, you know that we began pioneering anti-sway bars for Volvos more than 40 years ago. Did you know we made anti-sway bar packages for other vehicles too? In some cases, the original manufacturer copied our designs and integrated them into their own production line or we provided them with our bars as original equipment. Think about that. Our bars were so superior to the original equipment that they BECAME original equipment.

Cars continue to evolve, and handling characteristics that were once available only on high-end exotics are now commonplace. We originally developed our anti-sway bars to enhance handling performance (which they do). However, these are the same sway bars many Volvo drivers install as safety improvements. They’ll give your Volvo handling characteristics that put it in a handling class well above where it is now and get it well on its way to handling with the same panache as much sportier machinery while retaining its Volvo identity.

You won’t believe the improvement and you’ll wish you’d bought a set sooner. If you don’t believe us, ask anyone who’s tried them! Satisfaction Guaranteed, period. They really are that good. THE suspension performance part for any Volvo. Anti-Sway Bars have been ipd’s best seller for over 40 years and represent the most significant return on investment of any product we sell. It’s often remarked by customers and employees alike that “If you only buy one thing ever from ipd, it should be Anti-Sway Bars for your Volvo.”

Anti-Sway Bars will drastically reduce the amount of body roll your car experiences around corners and increase ride comfort to boot. All this translates into much more precise handling and control over your Swede with absolutely zero trade-off in ride quality. All ipd safety anti-sway bar packages are built using the finest materials available, including, high memory 4140 cold-rolled chro-moly steel, lifetime warrantied polyurethane bushings and grommets and premium grade hardware. Detailed step-by-step instructions are included.
