Front Stabilizer Bar Link Assembly 8-97944569-0 / 8979445690 for ISUZU D-MAX TFR/TFS and KB series — a direct-fit OEM replacement for the front left position, interchangeable with 8-97235787-1.
The Stabilizer Link Assembly with OEM number 8-97944569-0 (8979445690) is a direct-fit replacement for ISUZU D-MAX (TFR/TFS platform) and KB series models. This link connects the front stabilizer bar to the lower control arm on the left-hand side, transmitting torsional forces to reduce body roll during cornering.
How it works: The stabilizer link is a short coupling rod with ball-jointed ends. When the vehicle corners, the stabilizer bar twists and the link transfers that torsional load to the control arm, helping keep the chassis level and all tires in contact with the road. Worn link joints produce clunking noises over bumps and degrade handling precision.
- Position confirmed as Front Left: Multiple independent aftermarket brands (Comline, BLUE PRINT, FEBI, Apec, RIW) consistently list this OEM number as Front Axle Left.
- OEM cross-reference verified: Replaces 8-97944569-0 / 8979445690. Interchangeable references include 8-97235787-0 / 8972357870 and 8-97235787-1 / 8972357871.
- Thread specification recorded: M10 × 1.25 external thread per FEBI, BLUE PRINT, and RIDEX data. Apec lists M10×1.2 — a minor catalog variance.
- Weight & material recorded: 0.26 – 0.268 kg; steel construction; silver finish.
⚠️ Length data conflict — critical: Catalog listings report lengths of 154 mm (Apec), 155 mm (RIDEX), 180 mm (BLUE PRINT), 185 mm (ASHIKA/JAPKO), and 187 mm (FEBI). These may reflect different measurement points (overall length vs. thread-to-thread) or supplier-specific variants. Request a dimensional drawing or compare against the original part before ordering.
- Clunking or rattling noise from the front suspension over rough roads
- Excessive body roll or vague steering response during cornering
- Visible play or looseness at the link ball joints
- Torn or deteriorated dust boots on the link ends

| ISUZU | FVR / FTR | 6HE1 (verify) | Some cross-applications reported; confirm by VIN |
⚠️ Important fitment notes:
HDA-008 / MC828264 are aftermarket cross-reference numbers that appear primarily in Mitsubishi Fuso brake booster catalogs. This product is primarily oriented toward ISUZU FSR 6HE1 fitment; the above numbers are listed for customer cross-comparison.
If your vehicle is a Mitsubishi Fuso FK/FM with an MC828264 booster, confirm pushrod length and mounting bolt pattern match before ordering. Both "short" and "long" pushrod variants exist within the MC828264 family.
Always provide the VIN/chassis number for verification. Do not rely solely on cross-reference numbers.
| QC Item | Verification Method |
|---|---|
| Overall length | Gauge check against original — conflicting supplier data (154–187 mm) |
| Thread size & pitch | Go/no-go gauge check (M10×1.25 reference) |
| Ball joint articulation | Sampled functional test — request supplier report if critical |
| Dust boot integrity | 100% visual inspection per supplier claim |
| Material & finish | Steel, silver per supplier specification |
| Packaging integrity | Carton condition check per shipment |
⚠️ Important: Stabilizer link replacement affects suspension geometry and handling. Replace in pairs (both front sides) for balanced performance. Professional workshop installation is recommended.
- Raise and support the vehicle; remove the front wheel on the affected side.
- Hold the link ball stud with a hex key or Torx bit to prevent rotation, then loosen and remove the nut securing the link to the stabilizer bar.
- Remove the nut securing the link to the lower control arm. Extract the old link.
- Compare the new link's length and thread engagement against the original before installation.
- Install the new link in reverse order. Tighten nuts to OEM specification (confirm in manual — typically 40–60 N·m range for stabilizer link nuts).
- Repeat on the opposite side if replacing in pairs.
- Reinstall the wheel; lower the vehicle. Test for clunking over bumps.
- Inspect stabilizer links for play and boot damage every 40,000–60,000 km or during suspension service.
- Replace in pairs if one link's ball joint is worn or the boot is torn.
