Corteco 80000262 Stabilizer Mount

Description

The Corteco 80000262 Stabilizer Mount is a crucial component within a vehicle's suspension system, specifically designed for torsion bar applications. It securely connects the stabilizer bar to the vehicle's chassis, effectively reducing body roll during cornering and enhancing overall driving stability. This mount is manufactured to exacting standards, providing superior vibration dampening and noise reduction. Its dimensions are 60 x 60 x 82 mm and it is made in China.

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically connects your stabilizer bar—sometimes called a sway bar—to the frame of your vehicle. It’s a pretty simple piece, usually a rubber bushing pressed into a metal bracket, but it has a surprisingly big job. It allows the stabilizer bar to move up and down while keeping it securely in place. Think of your stabilizer bar like a connecting link between the left and right side of your suspension. When you go around a corner, one side of your vehicle dips down and the other rises up. The stabilizer bar resists that, keeping the body a little flatter and more controlled. The mount is what anchors that whole system. Without a good mount, the bar can’t do its job properly. It’s a key component in handling and ride comfort.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If these mounts wear out—and the rubber will deteriorate over time, especially with road salt and grime—you'll notice if you have some clunking noises coming from the front end when you go over bumps. It's often subtle at first, but it can get worse. More importantly, worn mounts affect handling. It doesn’t necessarily mean the car is unsafe right away, but it’s like taking a little bit of precision out of the steering. It’ll feel a bit looser and less responsive. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace and can make a noticeable difference. You can often find them pretty easily online; Fixparts Online has a good selection of suspension parts if you're looking. Getting these addressed before they completely fail can save you from having to replace other components later on too.
