When a car hits a bump on the road we are glad that is not something that happens often. That is because even with very soft suspensions you are going to get moved and will be shaken out of whatever you were doing or thinking about. Of course one can make the impact of the bump on the car softer and softer but that comes at a price. When the car hits a bump the car's motion is affected and the car starts to move also in a direction that is not wanted. When this motion is stopped the energy that the car had acquired by starting to move in that direction needs to be absorbed and then dissipated away. This is done by the suspension of the car. The shock absorbers first absorb the shock by compressing and then they start a gentle swaying to dissipate the energy that has been absorbed. The hydraulic or spring based dampening or a combination of both is used to dissipate the energy. But as the car sways around dissipating the energy the drivers ability to control it gets diminished. This is because the car is having the swaying motion and does not behave like an integral whole. This loss in the quality of control is not the best option though, because once in a while we require to steer our car quite precisely and if at that time the car is swaying around then we will struggle to get the exact result we want. And for that we need to reduce the swaying of the car and we can do that with the help of a strut bar. A strut bar link together two otherwise independent suspension components. By linking them together they are not able to sway away from each other as much. The car's suspension will feel a little harder, that is why the mention of a little pain, but your car's handling will improve a lot. If you want your car's handling to improve even more you can opt for lowering springs which lower the center of gravity of your car and make it more stable.
