Abstract

See full text

A stabilizer bar includes a sleeve and bushing that are used to mount the stabilizer bar to a vehicle structure. The sleeve is comprised of a plastic material and includes a locking mechanism for locking the sleeve to the stabilizer bar. The bushing is comprised of a resilient material and is mounted to an external surface of the sleeve. Once the sleeve is locked onto the stabilizer bar, lateral movement between the bushing and the stabilizer bar is prohibited. Further, frictional reaction of the bushing occurs between plastic and rubber materials, which results in reduced noise during suspension loading.
