Scania Stabilizer Bar Bushing OEM 213604

1. Introduction

In a heavy truck's front suspension, the stabilizer bar bushing is the rubber component that determines body-roll control and handling stability. The Scania stabilizer bar bushing (OEM 213604) sits between the front anti-roll bar and its frame brackets, fits both left and right sides, and works under combined torsional, shear and compressive loads throughout its life. Once the bushing cracks or ages, body roll increases noticeably in corners and lane changes, usually accompanied by chassis noise. This article covers the structure, material, vehicle fitment, cross references and installation tips for the Scania stabilizer bar bushing 213604, helping buyers and workshops in Europe, North America and Latin America source the right part quickly.

2. Technical Details: Structure, Material and Performance

2.1 Product Structure

OEM 213604 is a split-type solid rubber stabilizer bushing with an inner diameter of 40 mm, a length of 119 mm and a width of 58 mm, weighing approximately 0.568 kg per piece and normally supplied as a set of 2 (left + right). The bore mates directly with the stabilizer bar, while the outer body is clamped to the chassis cross-member by a metal bracket, allowing controlled torsional movement of the bar while restraining radial play.

2.2 Material and Compound

The bushing body is molded from a natural rubber (NR) compound; an NR/SBR blend is available on request. Natural rubber offers outstanding elasticity, tear resistance and dynamic fatigue performance, making it the preferred material for stabilizer bushings. Our standard hardness is 60 ± 5 Shore A, with tensile strength ≥ 17 MPa, elongation at break ≥ 400%, and an operating range of -40°C to +100°C — covering Nordic winters as well as Latin American heat.

2.3 Performance Advantages

Compared with low-cost reclaimed-rubber parts, our OEM-grade compound differs in three measurable ways. First, longer dynamic fatigue life: the bushing consistently passes more than 500,000 torsional cycles on bench testing. Second, lower compression set, so the part stays tight under long-term clamping. Third, better ozone and weathering resistance, preventing early surface cracking in European road-salt environments. Every batch is produced under the IATF 16949 quality system with full traceability from compound mixing and vulcanization parameters to final inspection.

4. Cross Reference Numbers

The following aftermarket references are interchangeable with OEM 213604, making it easy to match your existing stock and compare quotations:

5. Typical Failure Symptoms

• Noticeably increased body roll in corners or lane changes; the truck feels vague and floaty;

• Creaking or dull knocking from the front axle when crossing speed bumps or potholes at low speed;

• Visible surface cracking, chunking, or obvious play between the rubber and the stabilizer bar;

• Rubber extruded or unevenly worn at the clamp bracket, indicating permanent deformation;

• Abnormal tire wear that persists after wheel alignment has been ruled out.

6. Installation Tips

• Always replace in pairs (left + right); mixing old and new bushings creates uneven stiffness and shortens the life of the new part;

• Clean the stabilizer bar surface before fitting; remove rust and old rubber residue to avoid scoring the new bore;

• Never use mineral oil or grease as assembly lubricant — it swells rubber; use rubber-safe assembly fluid or soapy water instead;

• Tighten the clamp bolts in stages and in a diagonal sequence to the torque specified in the workshop manual; never fully tighten one side first;

• Perform final tightening with the vehicle on the ground under load, so the bushing sits in its neutral position;

• Road-test for noise after replacement and re-torque the clamp bolts after roughly 1,000 km.

7. Key Specifications

8. FAQ

Q1: Is OEM 213604 a direct replacement for the genuine part?

Yes. The part is reverse-engineered from a genuine sample and validated on-vehicle. Critical dimensions such as the 40 mm bore and 119 mm length match OEM tolerances for a direct, no-rework fit.

Q2: How many pieces does one truck need?

One per side on the front stabilizer bar — standard packaging is a set of 2. We recommend replacing both sides together to keep left/right stiffness balanced.

Q3: What is the typical service life?

It depends on duty cycle. On good roads the bushing can exceed 300,000 km; for mining, port or other severe-duty operations we recommend inspection at every chassis overhaul.

Q4: Is your hardness the same as the genuine part? Can it be customized?

Standard hardness is 60 ± 5 Shore A, benchmarked against the OEM spec. We can customize from 55 to 75 Shore A, and polyurethane versions can be developed to customer drawings.

Q5: What is your MOQ?

MOQ starts from 50 sets for regular stock items, and orders can be consolidated with other Scania, Volvo and MAN rubber parts to lower the trial-order threshold.

Q6: What are the lead time and packaging options?

In-stock items ship in 3–7 days; custom orders typically take 25–35 days. Neutral packaging, customer-branded color boxes and custom shipping marks are all supported.

Q7: How do I confirm this matches the Febi 04342 in my inventory?

Febi 04342, SAMPA 040.001 and DT 1.27052 are all cross references of OEM 213604 — same position, fully interchangeable. We provide a dimensional inspection report before you place the order.

Q8: Are you a factory or a trading company?

Hebei Tongsource International Trade Co., Ltd. is the wholly-owned export subsidiary of the listed manufacturer Hebei Huami New Material Technology Co., Ltd. — a factory-owned export arm, so pricing and technical support come straight from the source.
