Hamburg-based components manufacturer MEYLE has added another 14 MEYLE full-service solutions consisting of the stabiliser assembly and coupling rods in MEYLE‑HD quality. MEYLE say that for many of the new kit applications it is currently the only company to supply an aftermarket solution.

The MEYLE full-service solution comes complete with the stabiliser assembly and coupling rods, meaning repair professionals can replace defective components swiftly and with complete confidence. For added ease of installation, the stabiliser assembly comes ready to be installed and includes the mounts and, for most kits, also the retaining latches. The company says that most of the MEYLE stabilisers also feature rubber-to-metal bonds with vulcanised mounts making them extremely durable and less vulnerable to wear thanks to their premium-grade product finish.

These MEYLE stabiliser links are true to the MEYLE‑HD principle, with part durability significantly increased. For example, using a larger and more robust ball head of 22 millimetres in diameter increases the surface area, resulting in reduced surface pressure given the same impact force, which in turn minimises part wear. MEYLE‑HD stabiliser link stability is further improved because the ball pin snaps into a clip-on plastic socket made from wear-resistant polyoxymethylene plastic material (POM) which, thanks to its retaining latches, fits snugly into the steel housing. An additional snap ring is ultrasonically welded to the rear of the plastic socket. The result is superior pull-out strength delivering increased durability and maximum operating safety.

MEYLE’s technical team also offers some practical advice on spotting a defective stabiliser. Rumbling and knocking noise in the suspension is a typical indicator of stabiliser and coupling rod wear. A defective stabiliser or coupling rod reduces driving safety and comfort and often does further damage to the suspension. Consequently, The MEYLE experts recommend that the coupling rods be replaced along with the stabiliser assembly.
