Opel/Vauxhall Link rod (link pin or sway bar link) replacement
Opel/Vauxhall Link Rod (Link Pin or Sway Bar Link) Replacement
Have you ever wondered how a Opel/Vauxhall, or any car for that matter, manages to so easily stay on all four wheels when it’s driven around a corner?
Included amongst the wonderful components of a Opel/Vauxhall’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 Opel/Vauxhall 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 Opel/Vauxhall’s link rods.
It is recommended to replace the left and right side link rods at the same time. Your Opel/Vauxhall 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 Opel/Vauxhall is handling well.
If the link rods do need to be replaced this will cost around $100 to $300 depending on your Opel/Vauxhall's model. This price is for replacing a pair as it is recommended to replace the left and right side at the same time.
