Key Features & Benefits

These connect your sway bar to the suspension. They’re pretty simple parts, basically just metal rods with ball joints on either end. Those ball joints allow the link to move and pivot as your suspension goes up and down. It lets the sway bar effectively transfer force. Think of your sway bar as helping to keep your vehicle level when you’re going around corners or hitting bumps. When one side of your suspension goes up, the other side needs to resist a bit to keep things relatively flat. These links are what actually transmit that resisting force from the sway bar to the suspension. They don’t really affect ride comfort, though. They’re all about handling and stability.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

When these wear out, and they will eventually, you’ll notice if you’re driving on a bumpy road, or going around corners. You’ll probably hear a clunking or rattling noise, especially over those bumps. That's because the ball joints get loose and start to rattle around. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s unsafe immediately, but it’ll get worse. A really worn link can cause sloppy handling, and eventually, it could even break, which could lead to a loss of control. They’re relatively inexpensive to replace, so it’s good to address it before it gets serious. You can find stabilizer links, and lock nuts to go with them, over at Fixparts Online, or of course at most auto parts stores. Just make sure you get the right ones for your vehicle. It’s usually a good idea to replace these in pairs, since if one has worn out, the other one probably isn’t far behind.
