Stupid Question - What does Sway Bar Rubber Sleeve/Clamp do?

(1/4) > >>

Hans L:
Ok, restored and re-installed the sway bar sleeve and clamp assembly over the weekend (the round rubber bushing next to the sway bar bracket).   So what does this thing do??  Prevent some lateral motion/sliding of the sway bar?  Sqeaking??  I don't recall my other GM cars having this ('69 Chevelle).

JohnZ:
It prevents lateral motion - keeps the bar centered.

william:
I've been at this for a long time and I've never seen a front sway bar the wasn't painted black at the factory.

Hans L:
OK.  I was suspecting lateral movement.   Regarding color - if black is correct, easy to fix.  Assume a lower luster black - like "30%"?

DT:
I thought the sway bar color was Dark Phosphate ?
