Stabilizer bar link
A stabilizer bar link includes a hollow rod, an insert part mounted inside the rod, and a socket into which the rod is inserted and mounted, the socket having an outer surface coupled to the rod.
1. A stabilizer bar link comprising:
a hollow rod;
an insert part mounted inside the rod; and
a socket into which the hollow rod is inserted and mounted, the socket having an outer surface coupled to the rod,
wherein:
the hollow rod and the socket are formed of a material that is plastically deformable and that includes aluminum, and
the insert part is made of a material having higher strength and hardness than a material of the hollow rod.
2. The stabilizer bar link of claim 1 , wherein the hollow rod comprises:
a hollow rod body inserted into the socket; and
at least one rod protrusion annularly protruding from an outer surface of an end of the hollow rod body and coupled to the socket through plastic deformation.
3. The stabilizer bar link of claim 2 , wherein the at least one rod protrusion includes a plurality of rod protrusions protruding from the outer surface of the end of the hollow rod body.
4. The stabilizer bar link of claim 2 , wherein the socket and the at least one rod protrusion are coupled by a swaging processing.
5. The stabilizer bar link of claim 1 , wherein the insert part comprises:
an insert body mounted inside the hollow rod; and
an insert stopper formed at an end of the insert body that is larger than an inner diameter of the hollow rod.
6. The stabilizer bar link of claim 1 , further comprising:
a bonding material applied to an outer surface of the hollow rod and bonded to the socket.
