Keep body roll in check and restore a solid connection between the front stabilizer bar and the suspension with the Delphi Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link TC5246. This front sway bar link drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Ford Expedition and 2003-2005 Lincoln Navigator, tying the front stabilizer bar to the suspension so the bar can resist lean during cornering.
Delphi builds on its OE steering and suspension expertise, testing to the extreme for OE performance — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Ultrasonic molding: helps prevent future weld breakage.
- Fatigue tested: tested to avoid failure.
- Micron-tolerance machining: designed for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
Worn stabilizer bar links often show up as clunking or rattling over the front suspension, looseness in cornering, or a knocking noise when turning. If a failed link is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; the front axle uses a link on each side, so order two and replace them as a pair for balanced handling.

What does a stabilizer bar link do?
It connects the front stabilizer (sway) bar to the suspension, letting the bar resist body lean during cornering for more controlled handling.
How do I know if my sway bar link needs replacing?
Common signs include clunking or rattling over the front suspension, a knocking noise when turning, or looseness during cornering. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
