Abstract
A locking member, preferably used for preventing axial displacement of a stabilizer bar on an automobile, includes inner and outer elements interconnected by a strap. The inner element includes two portions joined to each other by a living hinge. Contacting surfaces of the inner and outer elements are tapered to generate a clamping force when the outer element is assembled over the inner element.
