Parts for your 2015 Mitsubishi Asx-Sway bars & links

2015 Mitsubishi ASX sway-bars-&-links

Yes, sway-bars-&-links are absolutely fitted to the 2015 Mitsubishi ASX. Mitsubishi’s factory Service Manual for the ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (2015, Group 33A Front Suspension and Group 34 Rear Suspension) specifies a front stabiliser (sway) bar with individual link assemblies, and a rear stabiliser bar on the multi-link rear suspension used in AU/NZ models. The Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for GA2W/GA3W VIN ranges lists front and rear stabiliser bars, bushes, and links, and major aftermarket catalogues for AU/NZ likewise list ASX sway bar links and bush kits by year range. So, this part is relevant to servicing a 2015 Mitsubishi ASX.

On the ASX, the sway bar (also called the stabiliser bar) ties the left and right suspension together to control body roll in corners. The links connect the bar to the struts or control arms, letting the bar twist as the car leans. The upshot is tighter, safer handling, steadier steering feel, and more even tyre contact when the road gets lumpy or the pace quickens. It’s not a flashy bit, but it’s one of the quiet heroes of everyday stability.

As the kilometres rack up, the rubber bushes on the bar can harden or crack, and the ball-jointed ends of the links can loosen. Common clues include a dull clunk over speed humps, light knocking on rough roads, extra body roll in roundabouts, and a vague or twitchy front end. If the links are badly worn you might even hear a rattle at low speed over small bumps.

During routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect the ASX sway-bars-&-links for torn dust boots, split or oil-soaked bushes, rust near the bar mounts, and any play in the link joints. Replacing links in pairs on the same axle keeps handling balanced. New bushes can freshen the feel, choose quality rubber for OE-like comfort or polyurethane for a firmer, more responsive edge. Penetrating spray helps old hardware come free, and reusing factory-style lock nuts is good practice. An alignment isn’t normally required for sway bar link or bush work, but if other suspension components are touched, get it checked. Once fitted, a short road test over varied surfaces will confirm the clunks are gone and the ASX tracks straight and true.

• Tip: If a persistent knock remains, also check front strut mounts, lower control arm bushes, and rear trailing arm bushes.

FAQs

Does a 2015 Mitsubishi ASX have both front and rear sway bars?
Yes. AU/NZ 2015 ASX models use a front stabiliser bar with links as standard, and a rear stabiliser bar on the multi-link rear suspension. This setup helps the ASX feel planted in corners and more settled over uneven roads.

When should sway bar links be replaced on an ASX?
There’s no fixed interval, but many owners see wear between 60,000 and 120,000 km depending on road conditions. Replace links if there’s clunking over bumps, play in the joints, torn boots, or noticeable extra body roll. Doing both sides on the same axle is the go.

Do I need a wheel alignment after changing ASX sway bar links?
Usually no. The links and bushes don’t set alignment angles. If other suspension parts have been loosened or changed (like control arms or struts), or if the steering feels off afterwards, book an alignment for peace of mind.
