Product Name: Applicable to AX7 Stabilizer Link 4151704
A Stabilizer Link is an engine component that transfers motion from the piston to the crankshaft and functions as a lever arm. Stabilizer Links are commonly made from cast aluminum alloy and are designed to withstand dynamic stresses from combustion and piston movement. The small end of the Stabilizer Link connects to the piston with a piston pin. The piston pin, or wrist pin, provides a pivot point between the piston and Stabilizer Link. Spring clips, or piston pin locks, are used to hold the piston pin in place.
The big end of the Stabilizer Link connects to the crankpin journal to provide a pivot point on the crankshaft. Stabilizer Links are produces as one piece or two-piece components. A rod cap is the removable section of a two-piece Stabilizer Link that provides a bearing surface for the crankpin journal. The rod cap is attached to the Stabilizer Link with two cap screws for installation and removal from the crankshaft.
