Body Roll is the cars angluar movment with respect to the pavement "the parallel"... aka car is not parallel with floor when turning...
Here is the Wikipedia version..
"
body roll is a reference to the
load transfer of a vehicle towards the outside of a turn. When a vehicle is fitted with a
suspension, it works to keep the wheels or
tracks in contact with the road, providing grip for the driver of vehicle to control its direction. This suspension is compliant to some degree, allowing the vehicle body, which sits upon the suspension, to lean in the direction of the perceived
centrifugal force acting upon the car.
Anti-roll bars are a part of the suspension specifically designed to address body roll."
This is also why Fit's and most FWD upgrade only the rear sway bar... Keep the rear planted...
