Stabilizer Front Axle

Details & Technology
A stabilizer is mounted to the control arms and axle housing. The stabilizer is a torsion bar
made of spring steel and is fitted transversely to the direction of travel. It exerts its stabilizing
effect under unilateral compression. If there is equal compression on both sides, the
stabilizer has no effect.
Benefits & Arguments
Reduces roll
Improved road holding even with an unequally distributed load
The stabilizer prevents roll which can occur when cornering with a load which has a high
center of gravity or when the front axle load is unequally distributed.
Remarks
Generally recommended on bodies with a high center of gravity/tall bodies.
This Code cannot be ordered individually.
