Model 3 / Model Y โ€ข Front Suspension โ€ข Front Stabilizer (Sway Bar) Link โ€” Right Hand โ€ข OEM 1188396-00-B

Replacement Tesla Model 3 / Model Y front stabilizer link assembly (right hand),
also known as the front sway bar link or anti-roll bar link. This link connects the front stabilizer bar to the suspension (strut/control arm), transferring roll forces between the left and right sides of the vehicle. Worn stabilizer links are a common source of front-end clunks and play during low-speed maneuvers and over bumps. This right-hand link is a direct-fit replacement for Tesla part number 1188396-00-B on most Model 3 and Model Y variants.

Built using Delphi OE safety technology, this stabilizer link is engineered and tested to OE-level standards:
Validated from below โˆ’40 ยฐC to over 120 ยฐC, subjected to up to 720 hours of salt spray, and checked with extensive dimensional and material analysis to ensure excellent compatibility with the original Tesla part. Delphiโ€™s sway bar links are fatigue tested and feature ultrasonic molding to help prevent weld breakage and provide long-term durability.

Why this part needs replacement
  • Clunking over bumps โ€” Worn or loose ball joints at either end of the link can cause sharp clunks or rattles when driving over rough roads, speed bumps, or driveway transitions.
  • Play in the stabilizer bar โ€” Excess clearance in the joints allows the sway bar to move independently of the suspension, reducing roll control and creating vague handling.
  • Boot damage & contamination โ€” Torn rubber boots allow water, dirt, and road salt to enter the joint, accelerating wear and eventually leading to joint failure.
  • Noise during steering input โ€” A worn front stabilizer link may cause knocking or clicking noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or when rocking the vehicle side-to-side.
  • Post-impact or suspension repair โ€” After curb strikes, pothole impacts, or major suspension work, stabilizer links are often replaced to restore factory ride and handling.

What this assembly does for your Model 3 / Model Y
  • Controls body roll โ€” Couples the front suspension to the stabilizer bar so the car stays flatter and more composed during cornering.
  • Improves steering feel โ€” Reduces slop and delay between steering inputs and chassis response, giving a more precise, confident feel.
  • Eliminates front-end rattles โ€” Fresh joints help quiet common clunks, rattles, and knocks from the sway bar area when driving over small bumps.
  • Maintains consistent handling left-to-right โ€” Ensures that both front wheels share roll load correctly, preserving predictable, neutral handling.
  • Direct bolt-in replacement โ€” Designed to fit the OEM mounting points and geometry for vehicles equipped with Tesla PN 1188396-00-B on the right-hand side.

Compatibility notes Tesla has used multiple stabilizer link revisions on Model 3 / Model Y. Always match the part number stamped on your original right-hand link (1188396-00-B) and verify by VIN/build date. Left-hand and right-hand links are not interchangeable; order the correct side, or replace both as a matched pair.

Maintenance tip

Stabilizer links should typically be replaced in pairs (left and right) to keep roll stiffness balanced and prevent future noise from the opposite side. After installation, road test over small bumps and low-speed turns to confirm that clunks and rattles are gone. While you are there, inspect the front stabilizer bar bushings and other control
arms for wear so you can address any remaining sources of noise or looseness.

Need help confirming compatibility?

Not sure if your Model 3 or Model Y uses this exact front stabilizer link? Check the part number on the original right-hand link or provide your VIN, model year, and build date. We can help confirm that this 1188396-00-B / 34-TS3-FRSTABLK assembly is the correct match for your vehicle before you order.
