Front Anti-Roll Bar Link – MINI Cooper E/SE & Aceman
This front anti-roll bar link, also called a stabiliser link or drop link, connects the anti-roll bar to the front suspension. It fits the front axle on either side and comes with lock nuts. It is made of steel, is 298 mm long and 105 mm high, and has M12 x 1.5 threads with a 16 mm spanner size.
The link lets the anti-roll bar keep the car flat through corners. Its ball joints wear over time, and the most common sign is a knock or rattle from the front over speed bumps and broken roads, often worse at low speed. A badly worn link can also make the car feel less settled in bends. Changing the links is a quick way to cure front-end knocks.
