A3873230285 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Bearing

These little guys basically allow your sway bar – that’s the metal bar connecting your left and right suspension – to move up and down with the suspension. They’re a rubber or polyurethane sleeve that the sway bar actually sits inside, and they allow some flex. They also help keep the bar centered and stop it from banging around. Think of it like this, when you go around a corner, one side of your car’s suspension compresses and the other extends. The sway bar’s job is to link those sides together and resist that body roll. The bearings let that resistance happen smoothly, without binding. They’re part of what keeps your car relatively flat through turns, and contributes to handling. It’s a key part of the suspension setup, working with the shocks and springs. You’ll notice if these go bad. You’ll usually hear a clunking or rattling sound, especially when going over bumps or turning. It's the sway bar moving around in the mounts because the bearing is worn out. It isn't something that will leave you stranded, but it definitely affects handling and ride quality. A worn bearing makes the car feel less stable and less predictable. It also puts extra stress on other suspension components. You can find these pretty easily, and places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. Replacing them isn't too difficult, but it can be a bit fiddly sometimes depending on your vehicle. Suitable for all conditions: Bearing (MPN A3873230285) includes a 12-month warranty!
