Abstract
A stabilizer bar assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a stabilizer bar, a bushing mounted to the stabilizer bar that has a first stiffness in a first radial plane, and a second stiffness in a second radial plane approximately perpendicular to the first radial plane, a bushing retainer in mechanically compressive engagement with the bushing such that the bushing is in frictional engagement with the stabilizer bar, thereby preventing relative movement of the bushing and the stabilizer bar, and a mounting bracket adapted to connect the stabilizer bar to the automotive vehicle.
