Key Features & Benefits

Basically, this piece holds the stabilizer bar – or sway bar – to the chassis of your car. It’s a pretty simple part, but it's crucial for connecting everything. It usually has a rubber bushing in it, that allows for some flex and absorbs vibrations. Some vehicles might have more than one of these per sway bar end link. Think of your suspension as working to keep each wheel planted on the ground individually. When you go around a corner, the body of the car wants to lean. The stabilizer bar, with these mounts holding it in place, connects the left and right suspension. It resists that leaning, helping to keep the car flatter and more controlled in turns. It really works with the rest of your suspension to give you a predictable ride and handling.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this mount fails, you’ll notice it. You'll likely hear clunking noises, especially when going over bumps or turning. It can cause sloppy handling, making the car feel unstable. A severely damaged mount can even cause the sway bar to disconnect, which is a pretty serious safety issue. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, especially if you find one at a place like Fixparts Online, and addressing it early can save you from bigger problems down the road. Ignoring it will eventually cause wear on other suspension components.
