Delphi Stabiliser Bar Link - TC1189

The Delphi TC1189 is sold individually. Depending on your vehicle's suspension design, you may need one or two links. Consult your vehicle's manual or a parts specialist to confirm the correct quantity for your application.

The stabiliser bar link connects the anti-roll bar (also known as a sway bar) to the suspension. Its primary purpose is to transfer force from one side of the suspension to the other, helping to reduce body lean or 'roll' when the vehicle turns.

The Delphi TC1189 measures 40mm in height and 170mm in length. The thread size for the bush is 12.3mm.

While some DIY-capable individuals may attempt installation, it is highly recommended to have suspension components installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function.

'Coupling rod type' describes the design of the link, indicating it's a rod that connects two points. This is a standard design for stabiliser bar links.

Common symptoms include clunking or rattling noises from the suspension, especially when going over bumps or turning, and a noticeable increase in vehicle body roll during cornering.

This often indicates a worn or loose stabiliser bar link. Inspect the TC1189 and its mounting points for damage or play. Replace if worn.

A faulty link can compromise the anti-roll bar's effectiveness. Check the link for signs of stress or failure and replace if necessary.

While not always the direct cause, a compromised suspension system due to worn links can contribute to uneven tire wear. Ensure all suspension components are in good working order.
