REAR AXLE STABILIZER BAR,
HIGH CAPACITY
CHASSIS
High capacity rear
axle stabilizer bar
under frame
Details and Technology
This stabilizer bar has a larger diameter than the standard version made of spring steel and is fitted
behind and parallel to the axle and transversely to the direction of travel. It is attached at two points
to the axle tube and at two points to the frame. The stabilizing effect is exerted only under unilateral
compression. If there is equal compression on both sides, the stabilizer has no effect.
Benefits and Arguments
• Improved road handling even with an unequally distributed load
•
Reduced roll
The higher capacity (reinforced) stabilizer bar has a more powerful stabilizing effect than the standard
version. It reduces roll which occurs, for example, when cornering with a load which has a high centre of
gravity or when the front axle load is unequally distributed.
Remarks
Recommended for vehicles with tall bodies.
