ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer bar assembly includes bushings secured to the bar such that there is no relative rotary movement between an inner surface on the bushings and an outer surface on the bar. In one example embodiment, the bushings are adhesively secured to the bar. In another example, the bushings are molded directly onto the bar. In example embodiments adhesively securing the bushing to the bar, a post bond adhesive is used and cured during a paint curing step after paint has been applied to the bar. Various example assemblies and methods of manufacturing are disclosed.
