This NISSAN 54668-1MA0A Rear Stabilizer Connecting Rod is a premium OE replacement manufactured by EEM Auto Parts, precisely engineered to match Nissan’s strict specifications for rear suspension stabilizer bar systems. Crafted with high-strength forged carbon steel and PTFE-enhanced polyurethane bushings, it effectively reduces body roll during cornering, enhances rear-end stability, and delivers long service life in both urban commuting and light off-road conditions. As a critical rear suspension component, it connects the rear stabilizer bar to the trailing arm, ensuring efficient transfer of lateral forces and maintaining optimal tire contact with the road.
2. Core Components & Construction
The 54668-1MA0A Rear Stabilizer Rod features a one-piece forged steel body for superior impact resistance and load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding repeated stress from uneven roads. Its upper and lower bushings are made of PTFE-infused polyurethane, offering excellent wear resistance, low friction, and stability across a wide temperature range (-50°C to +140°C). All metal surfaces undergo zinc plating treatment to prevent rust and corrosion, while the included high-tensile strength nuts and bolts meet Nissan’s torque standards for secure installation. The precision-machined ball joint ensures smooth rotation, accommodating suspension movement without binding or noise.
3. Core Function
The rear stabilizer connecting rod plays a key role in balancing vehicle dynamics, especially during high-speed cornering and uneven road driving. It links the rear stabilizer bar to the suspension, distributing weight evenly across the rear tires to minimize body roll, eliminate oversteer tendencies, and improve overall handling precision. A worn or damaged rear stabilizer rod can cause excessive rear-end sway, clunking noises from the rear suspension, unstable handling, and uneven tire wear. This OE-spec replacement restores factory suspension performance, ensuring safe and confident driving.
