22121R

Overview:

The Hotchkis Sport Rear Sway Bar is a precision-engineered suspension upgrade designed specifically for the 2013 to 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T and 2015 SRT Hellcat models. This rear sway bar set significantly enhances cornering performance by increasing rear roll stiffness, addressing the common issue of excessive understeer found in stock Challenger R/T V6 configurations. By improving rear-end grip and balance, it allows drivers to enjoy a more neutral handling experience with improved traction and control during aggressive driving and spirited cornering.

Ideal for enthusiasts seeking sharper turn-in response and better overall vehicle dynamics, this Hotchkis sway bar transforms the Challenger’s handling characteristics without compromising ride quality. It provides a more confident and engaging driving experience, whether on the street or the track.

Key Features:

This Hotchkis Sport Rear Sway Bar offers a range of performance and durability benefits, including:

• Lightweight, strong hollow sway bar with a diameter of 0.875" (22mm), delivering 35% more stiffness than the stock rear sway bar
• Durable gloss black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and long-lasting appearance
• High-quality polyurethane bushings that reduce deflection and improve responsiveness
• Special greasable rear brackets for smooth operation and extended bushing life
• Complete installation hardware included for a straightforward upgrade
• Enhances rear roll stiffness to reduce body roll and improve vehicle balance
• Improves traction and stability during cornering, allowing for crisper, quicker turn-in
• Eliminates excessive understeer, enabling better throttle steering and car rotation on corner entry

Construction & Design:

The Hotchkis Sport Rear Sway Bar is crafted from high-strength hollow steel tubing, providing an optimal balance of rigidity and weight savings. The hollow design reduces unsprung mass, which benefits suspension responsiveness and overall handling. The sway bar is finished with a durable gloss black powder coat that protects against corrosion and wear from road elements.

Polyurethane bushings are used to minimize compliance and maintain precise sway bar function, while the greasable rear brackets ensure smooth articulation and reduce bushing wear over time. This combination of materials and engineering results in a robust, reliable component built to withstand the demands of performance driving.

Performance & Sound

By increasing rear roll stiffness by 35% compared to the factory sway bar, this Hotchkis rear sway bar significantly reduces body roll and improves chassis balance. The result is a more neutral handling chassis with enhanced rear-end grip, allowing drivers to confidently rotate the car through corners and maintain throttle control without the typical understeer tendency. While the sway bar does not affect engine sound, it contributes to a more connected and responsive driving feel.
