A roll stabilizer in the form of a stabilizer bar which has a connecting portion at each end. The connecting portion is configured such that at least two bores are arranged on a circle arc. The center point of the circle arc constitutes the upper pivot point of the connecting element.

A ball joint (10) capable of stabilizing sliding torque while suppressing cost increase is provided. The ball joint (10) includes a first lubricant (G1) interposed between a ball part (40) of a ball stud (14) and a bearing sheet (13). The ball joint (10) includes a second lubricant (G2) having a higher friction coefficient than the first lubricant (G1) and enclosed inside a dust cover (15).

A torsion bushing includes a body portion defining a torsion rod-receiving bore, one or more helical flexion ribs defining at least a portion of the torsion rod-receiving bore, and a helical lubrication reservoir adjacent to the one or more helical flexion ribs. The torsion bushing may be included in a torsion busing assembly that further includes a bracket. The bracket may have a saddle to receive the torsion bushing, and one or more flanges for coupling the bracket to a frame. The torsion bushing may be included in a torsion rod assembly that further includes the bracket and a torsion rod.

A stabilizer is a stabilizer including: a main body cylinder portion which is elastically deformable; and a pair of connection portions respectively connected to a pair of left and right suspension devices, wherein a fixed shaft portion which is solid and fixed to the main body cylinder portion is provided to the connection portion, wherein the fixed shaft portion includes a fitting portion fitted into the main body cylinder portion and a large diameter portion connecting the fitting portion and the connection portion and formed to have a diameter larger than that of the fitting portion.

The ball joint includes a metal ball stud which includes a ball section and a resin housing which rotatably supports the ball section of the ball stud. A limiting member configured to limit molding shrinkage of the housing is embedded in the housing at an interval with respect to an equatorial section of the ball section such that the limiting member is positioned to surround at least the equatorial section of the ball section.

A suspension system for a rear axle of a vehicle provided with a frame equipped with at least two side members, the suspension system connecting the axle to said side members and comprising a left side and a right side, each comprising an axle-holder assembly, a bellows, a leaf spring, first and second bars, and a torsion bar interposed between said left and right sides. The aforementioned elements of the suspension system being arranged to provide a functional layout having reduced costs and overall dimensions.

An anti-roll bar link for a vehicle suspension may be positioned between an anti-roll bar and an articulating arm. The link selectively transfers movement of the arm to the anti-roll bar, depending on a locked or unlocked state. The link includes a body interfacing a slidable shaft. A physical feature selectively locks or unlocks the slidable shaft with respect to the body. The physical feature may include a locking pin, interference with a locking ball, etc. In the locked state, translation of the slidable shaft is restricted, and movement of the arm is transferred through the link to the bar. In the unlocked state, translation of the slidable shaft is permitted, and movement of the arm causes the shaft to translate with respect to the body such that at least a portion of the movement is not transferred to the bar.

A sway bar system is described. The sway bar system includes a sway bar having a first end and a second end. An electronically controlled connector to provide a remotely controllable physical connection and disconnection capability between a first location on a vehicle and the first end of the sway bar; and the second end of the sway bar coupled to a second location on the vehicle.

A suspension includes a housing, suspension links, a spring, and a stabilizer. The housing rotatably supports a rear wheel of a vehicle. The suspension links each have both ends swingably coupled to a vehicle body of the vehicle and the housing. The spring is disposed between the vehicle body and one of the suspension links or the housing. The stabilizer includes a stabilizer bar and a stabilizer link. A force application point where force generated by the spring is applied to the housing is disposed on a rear side of the vehicle with respect to a center of the rear wheel. The stabilizer link is coupled to the housing to allow a force application point where force generated by the stabilizer is applied to the housing to be disposed on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the center of the rear wheel.

A clamp for securing a link to a bar or a rod in order to accommodate multiple connection points. The clamp or sway bar clamp includes multiple connection points for securing a link to a sway bar. The sway bar clamp goes over the end of the sway bar. It converts a sway bar with one connection point to a sway bar with multiple connection points to adjust flex of the sway bar.
