Parts for your 2019 Mitsubishi Asx-Sway bars & links

2019 Mitsubishi ASX sway-bars-&-links

Yes, the 2019 Mitsubishi ASX is fitted with sway-bars (stabiliser bars) and sway-bar links. This is confirmed by Mitsubishi’s factory workshop manual for the ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (GA platform) which details both front stabiliser bar and link assemblies in the front suspension section, and a rear stabiliser bar with links on models so equipped in the rear suspension section. The Mitsubishi electronic parts catalogue (ASA/EPC) likewise lists front stabiliser bars, D-bushes and stabiliser links for MY2019 ASX variants. Those technical sources make sway-bars-&-links directly relevant to servicing this vehicle.

On the road, the stabiliser bar ties the left and right suspension together to control body roll in corners. The links connect the bar to the control arm or strut. When everything’s healthy, the ASX feels flatter, more planted and predictable through bends, with better tyre contact and confidence on quick lane changes.

Over time, link ball joints and stabiliser D-bushes wear, especially with Aussie and Kiwi chipseal, speed humps and rural roads. That can bring on clunks over bumps, a knock at low speed, or a loose, wandering feel. The good news: sway-bar components are relatively inexpensive and quick to sort when caught early.

For a 2019 Mitsubishi ASX, a sensible service approach is:

• Inspect sway-bar links and D-bushes at each service (or at least every 20,000 km). Look for split dust boots, perished rubber, rust bleed and play.
• Listen for light clunks over small bumps and driveways, a simple pry-bar test can confirm play in links or bushes.
• Replace links or bushes in axle pairs to keep handling balanced left-to-right.
• Use quality components matched to OE spec, polyurethane bushes can sharpen response but may add a touch more noise/harshness.
• Torque fasteners with the vehicle at normal ride height to avoid preload and premature bush wear.

Wheel alignment usually isn’t required after sway-bar link or D-bush replacement on the ASX, as no alignment angles are directly altered. If other suspension work is carried out at the same time, or tyres show uneven wear, it’s wise to check alignment.

If the bar itself is bent (after a kerb strike) or its brackets are cracked, replace the affected parts and re-check all mounting hardware. With fresh links and bushes, the 2019 ASX regains that tidy, surefooted feel it left the factory with.

Popular questions about 2019 Mitsubishi ASX sway-bars-&-links

Does the 2019 ASX have front and rear sway-bars?
Most 2019 ASX models have a front stabiliser bar with links as standard, and many trims also have a rear bar. This layout is documented in Mitsubishi’s workshop manual and the OEM parts catalogue for MY2019 ASX.

What are the signs my ASX sway-bar links or bushes need replacing?
Common symptoms include clunks over small bumps, a knock at parking speeds, and a floaty or unsettled feel in corners. Visual checks may show torn link boots, rusty stains, or perished D-bushes.

Do I need an alignment after replacing sway-bar links on my ASX?
Typically no. Sway-bar links and D-bushes don’t change toe, camber or caster. If you’ve also replaced control arms, struts, or notice uneven tyre wear, book an alignment for peace of mind.
