Stabilizer Bar (Front)

DESCRIPTION






The stabilizer bar interconnects both front struts of the vehicle and is attached to the front crossmember.

Attachment of the stabilizer bar to the front crossmember is through 2 rubber-isolator cushion bushings and retainers. A double ball jointed stabilizer bar link is used to attach each end of the stabilizer bar to the front strut assemblies. All parts of the stabilizer bar are replaceable as individual components.

The stabilizer bar to front crossmember cushion bushings are split for easy removal and installation. The split in the bushings should be positioned toward the rear of the vehicle, with the square corner facing down' when the stabilizer bar is installed.

OPERATION
Bounce and rebound movements affecting one wheel are partially transmitted to the opposite wheel of the vehicle through the stabilizer bar. This helps to minimize the body roll of the vehicle during suspension movement.

Connecting the stabilizer bar links to the strut assemblies helps reduce the fore-and-aft rate of the stabilizer bar from the rest of the front suspension.
