Corteco 49398735 Stabilizer Rod

Description

The Corteco 49398735 is a stabilizer rod, also known as a sway bar link. It's a critical component of a vehicle's suspension system, connecting the stabilizer bar to the suspension. This link effectively reduces body roll and improves handling, especially during cornering. This stabilizer rod is used in suspension systems to enhance stability and control. With dimensions of 380 x 55 x 85 mm and manufactured in India, this component provides precise control and a more comfortable driving experience by minimizing lean and maximizing tire contact with the road.

Key Features & Benefits

These connect your stabilizer bar – that’s the bar running under your car – to the suspension. They basically transfer forces. When one wheel goes up, the other side gets pulled down a bit, and these rods are what make that happen smoothly. They allow the stabilizer bar to do its job effectively, and that job is to resist body roll when you turn or hit a bump. Think of it like this – when you go around a corner, your vehicle naturally wants to lean. The stabilizer bar, with help from these links, keeps it flatter. It doesn’t eliminate leaning completely – you still feel the turn – but it minimizes it for better handling and a more comfortable ride. They’re part of your suspension system, so they work with your shocks and springs to control how your vehicle moves.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If these links get worn or damaged, you’ll notice if you’re listening for it. You might hear a clunking sound, especially when going over bumps or turning. It’s usually a pretty distinct sound. More seriously, worn links can cause sloppy handling, make your car feel unstable, and even affect your tire wear. They’re a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and doing it can make a big difference in how your vehicle drives. If you’re doing suspension work anyway, it’s a good idea to check these. You can find a good selection of stabilizer rods at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually pretty straightforward to install if you're comfortable doing your own repairs.
