FAQs
What is a stabiliser link?
A stabiliser link, also known as an anti-roll bar link or sway bar end link, connects the vehicle's suspension to the anti-roll bar (stabiliser bar). It helps reduce body lean during turns.
Why is it important to replace stabiliser links?
Worn or damaged stabiliser links can lead to poor handling, reduced stability, and increased noise from the suspension. Replacing them ensures proper vehicle dynamics and safety.
Does this part come with all necessary hardware?
Yes, the Borg & Beck Stabiliser Link BDL7493 is supplied complete with fixings where necessary for ease of installation.
What does 'OE specification' mean?
OE specification means the part is manufactured to meet or exceed the standards set by the original equipment manufacturer for your vehicle.
How long should a stabiliser link last?
The lifespan of a stabiliser link can vary depending on driving conditions and road quality. However, high-quality links like those from Borg & Beck are designed for durability and longevity.
Can I install this myself?
While some DIYers may be able to install it, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct torque settings and proper suspension alignment, guaranteeing optimal performance and safety.
Troubleshooting
Clunking or rattling noise from suspension
This could indicate a loose connection or a worn stabiliser link. Ensure all fixings are tightened to the correct torque specifications. If the noise persists, the link may need replacement.
Increased body roll during cornering
A worn or faulty stabiliser link may not be effectively controlling body roll. Check the link for damage and ensure it is properly installed and tightened. Replacement may be necessary.
