Lotus Elise Link rod (link pin or sway bar link) replacement
Lotus Elise link rod (link pin or sway bar link) replacement
Have you ever wondered how a Lotus Elise, or any car for that matter, manages to so stay on all four wheels when it’s driven around a corner?
Included amongst the wonderful components of a Lotus Elise’s suspension system, there is a device called the sway bar (also known as a stabiliser bar or anti-roll bar) which works to prevent body roll.
If your Lotus Elise is clunking from around the wheels, the tyres are wearing unevenly and the steering is loose, then there is a good chance there is a suspension problem and it could be coming from your Lotus Elise’s link rods.
It is recommended to replace the left and right side link rods at the same time. Your Lotus Elise will be noisy and will become harder to control on cornering when there is a problem with the link rod.
If left for too long, tyres can wear too and replacing tyres can be more expensive than replacing the link rod. Best to replace a link rod as soon as you can to make sure your Lotus Elise is handling well.
