Description
– Adjustable stabilizer bar links, also known as sway bar links, are components in a vehicle’s suspension system that connect the stabilizer bar (sway bar) to the suspension.
– They are designed to be adjustable in length, allowing for fine-tuning of the stabilizer bar’s effect on handling, particularly when the vehicle’s ride height has been altered, for example, by installing lowering springs.
Key Features:
What it does:
Connects the stabilizer bar to the suspension:
The stabilizer bar is a torsion spring that helps reduce body roll during cornering. The links transmit the force from the suspension to the stabilizer bar.
Adjustable length:
Adjustable links allow for optimizing the angle of the stabilizer bar relative to the suspension, which is crucial when the vehicle’s ride height has been lowered.
Improves handling:
By adjusting the link length, you can restore the stabilizer bar’s intended function, potentially improving handling, especially in lowered vehicles.
When to use them:
When lowering the vehicle:
Lowering a vehicle changes the suspension geometry.
Adjustable links can compensate for this change and restore the stabilizer bar’s effectiveness.
When optimizing handling:
Even without lowering the vehicle, adjustable links can be used to fine-tune the handling characteristics to the driver’s preference.
