THE THICKNESS IS 22MM, IS IT STRONG ENOUGH?
--- A larger sway bar is not necessarily stiffer. Aftermarket sway bars are typically sold as either solid or hollow tubes. Since the elasticity of a sway bar is a result of cross sectional area, the overall diameter doesn't matter so much. For the most part, solid tube sway bars are stiffer than "larger" sway bars made of hollow tube. This is because the hollow metal tubing actually has less cross sectional area and therefore has less resistance to bending moments.
--- Stiffer sway bars are not always better. While increasing the stiffness of the rear sway bar in a front wheel drive car might reduce understeer, an overly stiff rear sway bar can actually induce oversteer and make the car difficult to drive. Likewise, a rear wheel drive car with an overly stiff front sway bar may tend to understeer. When it comes to suspension, the name of the game is balance.

HOW A SWAY BAR WILL AFFECT VEHICLE DYNAMICS?
--- Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Cars: A stiffer rear sway bar on a front wheel drive car will reduce understeer. Typically, a front wheel drive car will handle better with a rear sway bar that is stiffer than the OEM piece.
--- Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Cars: A stiffer front sway bar on a rear wheel drive car will reduce oversteer. Typically, a rear wheel drive car will handle better with a front sway bar that is stiffer than the OEM piece. Some rear wheel drive cars, however, also understeer. If your vehicle understeers, front or rear wheel drive, a stiffer rear sway bar will make the car handle more neutrally.
--- All Wheel Drive (AWD) Cars: To put it simply, if you drive an all wheel drive car that understeers, install a stiffer rear sway bar. If you drive an all wheel drive car that oversteers, install a stiffer front sway bar. All wheel drive vehicles all handle a little bit differently, this means that choosing the right combination of sway bars will depend on how your specific vehicle behaves.
