Rear Stabilizer or Sway Bar

[Lawrence C Leung]

The rear bar will reduce overall roll rate. It will also cause there to
be a faster transition rate back there, thus loosening it. 

I guess the best way to put things is, you must do something at the front
as well as the rear to make it all work out harmoniously.
