Link Stabilizers

A link stabilizer, otherwise known as a sway bar, anti-roll bar or even stabilizer link, connects the vehicles left and right wheels through short links, reducing body roll whilst cornering, and absorbing shocks from potholes and uneven road surfaces. Fitting a strong, durable part is therefore a must. With an enlarged ball bin made from surface-hardened steel, a top-grade rubber boot and a high-performance grease, Delphi link stabilizers deliver a safe and comfortable ride, time and time again.

OE design

Delphi link stabilizers come in either steel, aluminium or reinforced plastic as per the OE. The lightweight property of our plastic link stabilizers , helps to reduce weight and dampen vibrations, whereas the corrosion-resistant steel makes for a stronger, longer-lasting part. Whichever material you fit, you can be assured it’s been manufactured to the very latest OE specifications.

Engineered for a stronger, durable part

Because they’re subject to extremely high stresses, Delphi link stabilizers feature a larger, surface-hardened steel ball pin, wear-resistant plastic clip-on socket, reinforced link rod and a temperature-resistant, high-performance grease. Together they offer improve load carrying capacity and service life.

Added protection

Given their position, link stabilizers are particularly vulnerable to contamination from dirt and moisture. For reliable protection from this and more, we use sealed, high-grade rubber boots on all our link stabilizers. We also apply an environmentally friendly, water-based cataphoretic coating providing up to 10 years’ corrosion protection.

Rigorous testing

Link stabilizers are subject to massive shock loading, so we conduct tensile strength testing to validate both the product housing and welding strength - applying force through the centre of the housing until breakage occurs. Importantly this is never sooner than the OE.

Three-year warranty – available in UK

Our meticulous approach to product development and testing means you can fit Delphi link stabilizers with confidence. But for added peace of mind, they also come with an extended three-year or 36,000-mile warranty.

Resource Highlights

In this article, you find out how to identify good suspension

1	Good suspension should provide independent shock absorption to individual wheels. That means, when one wheel rides over a hump, the shock will not be transferred to other wheels.

2

Good suspension should have adequate body roll. Excessive body roll leads to too much weight transfer, influencing the steering response. Restricting body roll to minimal may create an uncomfortable driving experience because of excessive Gforce. Moreover, body roll could provide information to the driver, telling him or her the state of cornering and whether the car has reached its limit. Complete elimination of body roll is not optimal.

3

Good suspension should have good geometry, such that wheel cambers remain unchanged in all conditions including acceleration, braking, cornering, load and bumps.

Body roll suppression usually conflicts with ride comfort, because the former requires stiffer spring and dampers while the latter is opposite. Nevertheless, clever suspension geometry may improve body roll without altering the ride.

Suspensions are employed to deal with humps in the road surface helping to enhance ride comfort. When a car rides over a hump, the springs are compressed, storing the energy to provide shock absorption.

The energy will be released quickly when the springs bounce back. Dampers are employed to smooth and slow the bounce motion, which is called "damping".

Without dampers, the car will bounce up and down severely and quickly, and potentially provide an uncomfortable ride.
