What is a transverse stabilizer, this is a device that serves to reduce lateral roll when entering a turn. First of all, it controls the lateral sway of the chassis, so that the folding is no more than expected. Secondly, the stabilizer balances the roll of the chassis between the axles of the car, for better control.

Stabilizer Mercedes-Benz and its varieties

There are four types of this device. The transverse stabilizer belongs to the first type and serves to ensure control stability. Its task is to keep the car body in balance, while distributing the load on the frame. It consists of a metal rod bent at the edges and a bushing attached to the car frame.

This is followed by anti-roll bars on front-wheel drive cars and classics on rear-wheel drive cars. The last type consists of additional stabilizers. They adjust the stiffness of the suspension. The higher it is, the more stable the driving.

We determine the breakdown of the Mercedes-Benz stabilizer

The main sign of a stabilizer malfunction is a knock when hitting a pothole or any other uneven road surface. The second clear sign may be a clear roll of the car and rolling when braking. In this case, you can hear a creak or crack.

To determine the breakdown, it is necessary to raise the car on a stand or drive it into a pit. Then turn the wheels all the way out, grab the racks and loosen them a lot. The appearance of play or unevenness indicates a malfunction of the stabilizer struts and the need to replace them. The second principle of solving the problem is to rotate the part in different directions. The easier it spins, the worse its condition and unsuitability.

When replacing, it is important to pay attention to the material of the stabilizer and its shape. Mounting method is also an important factor. These indicators have an impact on the subsequent operation of this Mercedes Benz metal beam.

• Next, inspect the rack and bushing. If there are changes in the structure of the pieces, that is, they do not adhere well to the bar or have lost their shape, it is necessary to change them.
• The pads are changed at a short distance from the center of the boom.
• After all, we set the bar and fasten the pillows, first we fasten the front nuts, and then the rear ones.
• Finally, double-tighten the strut nuts. The first when the car is on a support, and the second on the ground. In the second case, the undercarriage of the car is loaded, and the nuts are more securely fastened.

• After that, we put the tip back, after checking the stabilizer pads.
• Finally, install the necessary device.

The next step is the anti-roll bar on the classic rear-wheel drive Mercedes Benz. The principle is similar to the previous one. First, remove the nuts and pads from the bracket. Then the bar, distribute the tension over the springs and clean it from dirt.

In this case, it is best to use a special soap or solution so as not to damage the parts. We inspect and change the necessary parts. After that, we collect all the details in the reverse order. We tighten the nuts on the brackets, tighten the cushion clip and tighten the rest of the parts.
