Seems like a sway bar would also help correct for some stationary body lean, in much the same way. There's force being applied to one side, perhaps just heavier on a side, that's causing compression of the suspension. So a sway bar should help counteract that in exactly the same way, correct?

My jeep gladiator every time I drive pass the speed humps it's making knocking noise. So I installed a tazer in jeep and I disconnect the swar bars on tazer, it's stop the knocking noise.
