Installing a Sway Bar is one of the best investments in handling that you can make! A sway bar links the right side and left side of the car, acting as a torsional spring to resist body roll and keeping the tires planted during drag launches. Factory engineers used small, weak sway bars – and sometimes even no sway bar at all – in production suspensions because the vehicles were limited by the capability of the era’s tires. PST carries an extensive line of sway bars for all applications that are larger than stock and are designed take advantage of modern tire technology. Armed with a set of PST sway bars, you will have significantly better control and vastly improved handling as you take on even the toughest curves!

The Problem

Let's face it, most decisions made by the automakers are based on one factor - cost. Without a doubt, it's less expensive to manufacture and install smaller anti-sway bars, or in some cases, leave them off completely! Your stock suspension does an adequate job in most situations. Where you may run into a problem (no pun intended) is when you need to make a sudden lane change to avoid an accident or when you find that curve in the road is a little sharper than you thought. As you vehicle begins to turn, the body will " roll" transferring weight to the outside wheels. This causes the front end to "plow", or what is technically known as understeer. The result - your vehicle wants to keep going straight and you're out of control!

The Solution

With the addition of a set of PST anti-sway bars, body roll and understeer will be greatly reduced resulting in a safer, more balanced suspension.

Land Rover testing electric Defender 110 pickup

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Land Rover has begun testing an electric version of the Land Rover Defender first shown at the 2012 Geneva motor show. The electric Defender prototype is in service at the Eden Project in Cornwall, U.K., a complex of several large transparent domes that house multiple artificially maintained environments containing thousands of rare plants, and is a popular visitor attraction. At the moment the electric Defender isn't exactly tearing through the Amazon rainforest, but the work it's doing is nevertheless a good approximation of how quite a lot of Defenders are used in real life -- at least in terms of speed and duration of use.
