Title: Passenger side Stabilizer bar rubber works its way out of Saddle
Post by: graham_fuller on June 23, 2025, 10:56:14 AM
Hi all,
The passenger side stabilizer bar rubber keeps working its way out of the saddle? Has anyone had this happen before and found a reason and solution?

Cheers Graham

Yes.  It happens often.

There's a kind of sway bar rubber that has a big lip on each side, making it more difficult for the rubber to slide out sideways.

Or, you could (shudder) modify your brackets by welding flanges onto the sides for better retention of the rubber.

Thanks Rob.
Are some rubbers made of harder material perhaps?
Its only started to do it since the Broken Hill trip.
Yes John suggested the flange idea. Trying to keep it stock.
Might be able to make a plate with fingers on it and slip it under the flat base of the rubber.
Cheers
