Abstract
A link assembly for connecting a stabilizer crank arm and a suspension arm in a vehicle suspension system. The link assembly includes a barrel-shaped spacer having dome-shaped opposite ends. The spacer body has an axial bore therethrough which receives a bolt or stud shaft. The spacer spaces the crank arm and suspension system arm. Grommets on opposite ends of the shaft resiliently hold the arms against the spacer. <IMAGE>
