What is the replacement interval for stabilizer bar bushings?
1 Answers
The stabilizer bar bushings do not have a fixed replacement interval. The function of the stabilizer bar: When the left and right wheels pass over the same road bumps or potholes, the stabilizer bar does not come into play. However, if the left and right wheels encounter different road bumps or potholes—meaning the horizontal heights of the left and right wheels differ—the bar will twist, generating anti-roll resistance to inhibit body roll. Symptoms of worn stabilizer bar bushings include: 1. Misaligned four-wheel positioning, requiring a four-wheel alignment; 2. Uneven tire tread patterns or tread depths on the left and right sides; 3. Unequal tire pressure on both sides, which causes the tires to become uneven in size and inevitably leads to pulling; 4. Deformed front shock absorber springs with inconsistent damping on both sides. The condition of the shock absorber springs can be assessed by pressing down on them or comparing them after removal.
