Ok, so say I have a strut tower bar on the front end and a sway bar on the rear?

The reason I ask is because my rear end (being a 5-door) makes a lot of noise when the body twists, like when going in and out of driveways, etc. It happens when the body is forced to take one wheel at a time out of one surface onto another, and has to move on all axes (left-right, up-down and side-side). The back door is a problem, because it's right at the tail end of the vehicle. The guide (being plastic) on the left side that holds the door in the one spot, instead of moving up and down on the single hinge that it has, makes an awful noise if it isn't lubricated with dry-lube or some other shit to stop it squeaking, but that's the only part of the car that seems to be affected by the body roll.

So if the back half of the vehicle has to have the suspension parts movement-limited, a sway bar is best? And if I'm turning into tight corners and just generally want better handling on my vehicle all-round, a strut tower bar is best?

Just wanna make sure I have those right.

Cheers.
