MAN 81962100278 Silentbloc Rubber Pad
Description
The
MAN 81962100278 is a Silentbloc Rubber Pad designed for suspension and steering systems, specifically used in sway bar links. This pad effectively reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) by isolating components and absorbing impacts. Its robust construction enhances durability and extends the lifespan of connected parts, improving overall ride quality and handling. This rubber pad measures 40 x 50 x 50 mm.
Key Features & Benefits
These pads basically act as a cushion, a bit like a shock absorber, between the sway bar and the chassis of your vehicle. They dampen vibrations and reduce noise. It’s a simple part, but it plays a surprisingly important role. It allows some flex while still keeping everything secure.
Think of your sway bar as helping to keep your car level when you’re going around corners. These rubber pads are where the sway bar actually connects to the frame. They aren’t really moving parts themselves, but they allow the sway bar to do its job effectively without rattling around or transmitting harshness into the body of the car. They’re positioned at each end of the sway bar where it mounts.
Symptoms, Risks & Replacements
You’ll notice if these go bad, usually because you’ll start hearing clunking noises, especially over bumps or when turning. They’ll wear out over time, the rubber deteriorates, and things get loose. That looseness impacts handling. It won’t be a dramatic difference, but it'll make the car feel less stable and more prone to body roll. Replacing them restores that connection and smooths everything out. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and they're pretty straightforward to replace if you're comfortable with basic car work.
