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
Incorrectly fitting a compliance bush can lead to steering issues, premature wear, and poor vehicle handling – even if your wheel alignment was perfect before you started.
Phil, our Delphi expert explains what a compliance bush is, why orientation matters, and how to press it in properly. Watch this video to learn how to:
- Identify a compliance bush and understand how it works
- Remove the suspension arm and press out the old bush
- Mark and align the new bush for correct orientation
- Efficiently press the bush into the arm and housing
- Refit the arm, torque components, and finish with wheel alignment and an ADAS check
What is a compliance bush, and how is that different from a regular bush?
A compliance bush isn’t symmetrical and is designed to flex in one direction more than another, helping to control how the suspension arm moves during braking and cornering.
Why does orientation of the compliance bush matter?
Proper orientation ensures the suspension behaves as designed. If fitted incorrectly, the bush can twist or wear prematurely, affecting vehicle handling and alignment.
How do I press the bush in correctly?
You’ll need to mark both the arm and the new bush before removal to preserve orientation. Then use a press to install the bush onto both arms and housing, aligning your marks carefully.
What happens if I torque the bolts before the vehicle is on the ground?
Torquing suspension bolts while the car is raised can preload the bush in the wrong position, leading to premature failure. Always torque the final bolts with the vehicle at ride height.
Do I need to perform an ADAS calibration after fitting a bush?
It depends on the vehicle. Once the alignment is complete, check in with your diagnostic software to see whether an ADAS calibration is required.
