Abstract
An adjustable stabilizer bar assembly includes a housing rotatably mounting a stabilizer bar in a first bore. A second bore in the housing slidably receives an actuation pin. A plurality of dowels are slidably provided between the first and second bores. As the actuation pin is slid into the housing, selected dowels are forced into respective grooves on the stabilizer bar, thereby ratcheting the stabilizer bar toward a limited rotational range. Sensors and a driver may input data to a controller to selectively position the actuation pin, thereby providing a desired degree of roll resistance.
