The stabilizer bar helps to control body roll on turns. The Assembly Wizard allows
selection of two types of stabilizer bars, single piece and two piece.
Front and rear suspensions use different system definitions of the stabilizer bar.
The stabilizer bar connects the left and right wheels and therefore primarily acts
like a spring and thereby reduces vehicle roll. The stabilizer bar can be used in
either a half vehicle or a full vehicle models. The following stabilizer bars are
supported in the Truck Library.
Stabar with Links
The one piece stabilizer bar makes use of a polybeam which serves as the force
resisting element based on the properties assigned. The main body parts included in
the stabar with links is shown in the following image. Figure 1.
2-Piece Stabar with Links
The torsion spring is only found in the two piece stabilizer bar and is the force
element that resists twisting. The main body parts included in the 2-piece stabar is
shown in the following image. Figure 2.
