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 will find out about the symptoms of a bad steering and suspension.

As you know, steering and suspension parts are safety-critical, so it's important that you routinely check steering and suspension components and replace any that show signs of wear. If a part is worn or failing, the issues below could result. 

Symptoms and what they could mean:

Vehicle continually pulls to one side while driving

Double wishbone on the front suspension.

  • Ball joints
  • Bushings
  • Tie rod ends
  • Uneven tire wear/inflation
  • Steering rack
  • May need alignment 

Continued bouncing after hitting a bump or pothole

  • Shocks or struts
  • Leaf spring

A steering pull or drift to one side after turning

  • Bushings
  • Ball joints
  • Tie rod end
  • Rack and pinion
  • Uneven tire wear

Steering slips while turning the wheel

  • Bushings
  • Ball joint
  • Tie rod end
  • Rack and pinion
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Strut bearings
  • Rack mount

Loose or sloppy steering: excessive play or wandering from side to side

  • Tie rod end
  • Ball joint
  • Bushings
  • Rack and pinion
  • Strut bearings
  • Rack mount

Excessive steering wheel vibration

  • Ball joint
  • Bushings

Steering veers to one side when driving over a bump or during hard acceleration

Independent rear axle with a coil spring/shock configuration.

  • Ball joint 
  • Control arm 
  • Tie rod ends 

Steering wheel bounces up and down at highway speeds or when braking

  • Wheels out of balance
  • Uneven tire wear/inflation
  • Loose wheel bolts
  • Brake rotors

Difficulty in turning the wheel

  • Steering belt
  • Power steering fluid level low (possibly leaking)
  • Steering rack
  • Power steering pump

A knocking or clunking sound

  • Control arm
  • Bushings
  • Ball joint
  • Tie rod end

If noises occur while turning, check:

  • Ball joint
  • Tie rod end
  • Steering pump belt
  • Steering pump
