What is a stabilizer bar and why is it needed?

Now few car enthusiasts pay attention to such a device as a stabilizer bar. But it depends on him the safety of the car on the corners. How is this expressed? Everything is very simple. When cornering, centrifugal force tilts the machine in one direction, and the entire load falls on only 2 wheels. Such actions can easily turn the car over, but thanks to the anti-roll bar, the vehicle becomes safer. How this part is arranged and what it consists of is further in our article.

Design features

This spare part has a special elastic element of the torsion type, thanks to which the part connects 2 opposite wheels. At the moment, almost all cars are equipped with such a mechanism as a stabilizer bar. "Lanos Daewoo" is no exception. So, this tool is installed on both the front and rear of the suspension.

Mounts

By design, this part is a small U-shaped rod of circular cross section. Scientifically, it is called a barbell. The anti-roll bar “Niva” is made of special spring steel. And it is placed across the car body, mounted on rubber bushings and clamps on each side. The ends of the part are connected to the levers (suspension elements) using hinges. Moreover, it can be mounted either directly or using 2 racks. The latter type is more popular and applicable today than the first.

Rigidity

An important factor affecting the operation of the stabilizer is its rigidity. It depends not only on the shape and composition of the rod, but also on the mounts. The stiffer the anti-roll bar, the greater the load it can carry. Due to this, the car will be safer in the corners. It is also worth noting that the stiffness of the stabilizer may be different in the front and rear of the suspension. This is done in order to achieve maximum controllability of the vehicle.

Why can not install this part from other machines?

In general, each vehicle is developing its own anti-roll bar. This is done so that the new part provides maximum safety to the vehicle at bends and reduces rolls. The mechanism is developed taking into account the slightest suspension factors of a particular car. Therefore, it is highly recommended not to mount, for example, in the "nine" stabilizer with the "five", even if outwardly it has a similar design. Each part has its own unique and complex shape, which was created taking into account all the provisions of the machine components and assemblies, including body features. Therefore, never buy anti-roll bars from other machines.

Good luck on the road and enjoy a safe trip!
