Stabilizer Bar

The stabilizer bar is attached to the front of the subframe with bushes and mounting brackets. The pressed steel brackets locate over the bushes and are attached to the longitudinal members with bolts screwed into threaded locations in the subframe. The stabilizer bar has crimped, 'anti-shuffle' collars pressed in position on the inside edges of the bushes. The collars prevent sideways movement of the stabilizer bar.

The stabilizer bar is manufactured from manganese steel bar and has been designed to provide particular characteristics in maintaining roll rates, specifically in primary ride comfort. Each end of the stabilizer bar curves rearwards to attach to a ball joint on a stabilizer bar link. Each stabilizer bar link is secured to a bush in the lower lateral arm with a bolt and locknut. The links allow the stabilizer bar to move with the wheel travel providing maximum effectiveness.
