LEMFÖRDER – Control 37001 01 Storage, Stabiliser

The LEMFÖRDER Control 37001 01 Storage, Stabiliser is a precision‑engineered component designed to secure the stabiliser bar within the front suspension assembly of Volkswagen Transporter and related models. Its primary function is to maintain optimal alignment and load distribution while providing a durable mounting point that resists wear and vibration.

Key Functional Characteristics

• Robust Construction: Crafted from high‑strength alloy steel, the stabiliser mount offers exceptional resistance to fatigue and corrosion, ensuring long‑term reliability even under harsh operating conditions.
• Exact Fitment: The design incorporates a precision‑machined bore that matches the stabiliser bar’s diameter (typically 21 mm for VW Transporter models), guaranteeing a snug fit and eliminating play.
• Integrated Bearing System: A built‑in bearing assembly allows smooth rotation of the stabiliser bar, reducing friction and preventing premature wear on suspension components.
• Load Distribution: The mount’s geometry spreads forces evenly across the chassis, minimizing stress concentrations that could lead to frame damage or suspension failure.
• Ease of Installation: With a straightforward bolt‑on design and clear mounting points, technicians can replace or upgrade the stabiliser system without extensive disassembly.

Compatibility Overview

The Control 37001 01 is specifically engineered for the following Volkswagen platforms:

• Transporter T5 (7HA, 7HH, 7EA, 7EH) – 2003‑2015
• Transporter VI – 2015‑present
• Crafter (T6) – 2011‑present
• Multivan T5 – 2003‑2015
• Other VW commercial vehicles with a front stabiliser bar of the same diameter

For each model, the mount is available in both left and right side variants, ensuring symmetrical performance across the vehicle’s suspension.

Installation Procedure (Brief Overview)

1. Remove Existing Mount: Detach the old stabiliser housing by loosening the mounting bolts and carefully lifting the assembly from the chassis.
2. Prepare the New Mount: Clean the mounting surface, apply a thin layer of anti‑seize compound to the bolt threads, and align the Control 37001 01 with the stabiliser bar.
3. Secure the Assembly: Fasten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure distribution. Torque specifications should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines (typically 80–100 Nm).
4. Verify Alignment: Check that the stabiliser bar sits flush against the mounting surface and that there is no lateral play.
5. Reassemble Suspension Components: Reinstall any removed bushings, shock absorbers, or sway bars, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Handling: By maintaining the stabiliser bar in a fixed position, the mount reduces body roll during cornering, enhancing vehicle stability.
• Reduced Wear on Suspension Bushings: The controlled movement of the stabiliser bar lessens stress on adjacent bushings and joints, extending their service life.
• Consistent Ride Quality: A well‑mounted stabiliser ensures that suspension travel remains within design limits, preserving ride comfort over uneven road surfaces.
• Enhanced Durability: The alloy steel construction resists cracking and deformation, even under heavy load or in extreme temperatures.

Maintenance Tips

Although the Control 37001 01 is designed for long‑term use, periodic inspections can preempt potential issues:

• Check Bolt Tightness: Inspect mounting bolts every 10,000 km and retighten if necessary.
• Inspect Bearing Condition: Look for signs of metal shavings or excessive play in the stabiliser bar; replace the mount if wear is detected.
• Clean Surrounding Area: Remove dirt, grease, and road salt from the mounting surface to prevent corrosion.
