Abstract

A stabilizer for a vehicle with suspension springs having a rigid member with a face and back. An upper stop is on the face of the stabilizer near an upper aperture passing through the stabilizer from the face to the back, and a lower stop is on the face of the stabilizer near a lower aperture passing through the stabilizer from the face to the back. An upper L-shaped bolt is fastened in the upper aperture with the shorter leg of the bolt oriented toward the upper stop in order, together with the rigid member, to create a channel within which a first portion of a suspension spring is retained. A lower L-shaped bolt is similarly fastened in the lower aperture with the lower leg of the bolt oriented toward the lower stop to create a channel within which a first portion of the suspension spring is retained.

A stabilizer for a vehicle with suspension springs, which comprises:

a rigid member having a face and a back with an upper aperture and a lower aperture proceeding from the face of said rigid member to the back of said rigid member;
an upper stop on the face of said rigid member near the upper aperture, said upper stop having an outward face;
an upper L-shaped bolt having a head with a rear, such head being oriented toward said upper stop, and said upper L-shaped bolt also having a body with a free end, such body being inserted into the upper aperture so that the rear of the head of said upper L-shaped bolt is near the outward face of said upper stop;
an upper fastener attached to the body of said upper L-shaped bolt, the extension of the free end of the body of said upper L-shaped bolt beyond the back of said rigid member being sufficient to permit the attachment of such upper fastener to the body of said upper L-shaped bolt;
an upper stop on the face of said rigid member near the lower aperture, said lower stop having an outward face;
a lower L-shaped bolt having a head with a rear, such head being oriented toward said lower stop, and said upper L-shaped bolt also having a body with a free end, such body being inserted into the upper aperture so that the rear of the head of said upper L-shaped bolt is near the outward face of said upper stop;
and
a lower fastener attached to the body of said lower L-shaped bolt, the extension of the free end of the body of said lower L-shaped bolt beyond the back of said rigid member being sufficient to permit the attachment of such lower fastener to the body of said lower L-shaped bolt.
