Lateral Stabilizer Rod: Description and Operation

REAR SUSPENSION

LATERAL LINK

DESCRIPTION
The lateral links connect the lower front and rear of the knuckle to the rear crossmember. They have rubber isolator bushings at each end to isolate suspension noise from the body of the vehicle. The forward link allows for stabilizer bar attachment through stabilizer bar attachment links.

OPERATION
The lateral movement of the rear knuckle is controlled by the lateral links connecting the front and rear of the knuckle to the rear suspension crossmember. The metal sleeves of the links are adjustable for setting rear wheel alignment.
