Concorde V6-2.7L VIN V (2001)
Stabilizer Bar: Description and Operation
Front
FRONT SUSPENSION
DESCRIPTION
The stabilizer bar interconnects both front struts of the vehicle and is attached to the front cradle/crossmember.
Attachment of the stabilizer bar to the front cradle/crossmember is through 2 rubber-isolator cushion bushings and retainers. A double ball jointed
stabilizer bar link is used to attach each end of the stabilizer bar to the front strut assemblies. All parts of the stabilizer bar are replaceable as
individual components.
The stabilizer bar to front cradle cushion bushings are slit for easy removal and installation. The slit must be positioned toward the front of the vehicle
when the stabilizer bar is installed.
OPERATION
Jounce and rebound movements affecting one wheel are partially transmitted to the opposite wheel of the vehicle through the stabilizer bar. This helps
to minimize the body roll of the vehicle during suspension movement.
