Stabilizer links act as components of auto suspensions, connecting several other parts that take much of the punishment as you pass over pot holes and other road imperfections.

Function

• Modern cars use segmented suspensions. Stabilizer or sway bars have stabilizer links. The stabilizer bar holds pairs of wheels connected, while stabilizer links hook this larger piece with arms that go up to the wheels themselves. Ball joint connections enable turning and suspension travel.

• Significance

  • Stabilizer bars links improve handling and shock absorption, keeping the car from swaying too much as you turn--which could lead to loss of control. Adding stabilizer links between the main bars and the wheels refines this process of control, so cars handle "tight."

  Types

  • With the prevalence of pot holes and bumpy roads, your entire suspension needs to withstand shocks, so stabilizer links employ cast iron, steel and alloy in their construction.
