Lifespan of Stabilizer Link Ball Joint

[JoelMarie]

Automotive stabilizer link ball joint lifespan: 1. The lifespan of a stabilizer link is determined by the usual road conditions it encounters, typically lasting over 70,000 kilometers or even longer; 2. It serves as the connecting joint between the suspension and stabilizer bar, primarily responsible for transmitting forces between the car suspension and stabilizer bar; 3. When both left and right wheels pass over the same road bumps or potholes, the stabilizer bar does not function. However, when left and right wheels encounter different road bumps or potholes (i.e., when there's a difference in wheel height), it causes torsion in the bar, generating anti-roll resistance to suppress body roll; 4. The stabilizer bar only stiffens the ride when activated, unlike stiff springs which uniformly harden the ride. If relying solely on springs to reduce body roll.
