What is the purpose of a balancing bar connecting rod set?

02-12,2025

In a vehicle’s suspension system, balancing bar connecting rod set is an important component. It is used to connect the balancing bar and suspension arm or shock absorber. It serves the main purpose of reducing vehicle roll during turning for improved control stability and driving safety.

Functions of a balancing bar connecting rod:

1. Reduce roll: When the vehicle turns, the balancing bar transmits force to the suspension on the other side via the connecting rod, thus reducing tilt of the vehicle body.

2. Improve maneuverability: It guarantees stability of the suspension system, allowing the vehicle to travel more smoothly.

3. Absorb vibration: The ball head or lining in the connecting rod is able to absorb road vibration and improve riding comfort.

When should a balancing bar connecting rod set be replaced?

1. Abnormal noise: An abnormal "creaking" or "clicking" noise is generated during driving (especially when the vehicle passes speed bumps or turns).

2. Poorer maneuverability: The roll becomes more significant when the vehicle turns, indicating a decrease in stability.

3. Uneven tire wear: A damaged connecting rod may cause abnormal tire wear.

4. Damage discovered during inspection: The symptoms may include loose ball head, cracked rubber lining, or damaged dustproof cover.

Suggestions on replacement of a balancing bar connecting rod set:

1. Select a high-quality product: A high-quality balancing bar connecting rod set should be used preferably to ensure high durability and performance.

2. Replace a pair of balancing bar connecting rod sets at the same time: Even if only one balancing bar connecting rod sets is damaged, it is recommended that both should be replaced together to maintain good balance of the suspension system.

3. Regular inspection: During vehicle maintenance, check the condition of the connecting rod, especially the rubber lining and the ball joint.
