Abstract:
1. A method of producing a stabilizer for installation in a bearing unit of a motor vehicle; said method comprising: providing each end portion of a strip-shaped metal element with a closing contour; shaping the metal element to assume an undulating configuration with at least one wave portion; placing the undulating metal element in a tool; pressing a stabilizer bar in the tool against a circumference of the wave portion of the metal element; forming the wave portion onto the stabilizer bar such that the wave portion has at least one section which is ironed and the ironed section is urged into forced contact with the stabilizer bar; bending the metal element to embrace the stabilizer bar; and connecting the end portions of the metal element by engaging the closing contours of the end portions with a defined incline to thereby form a closed limiter ring fixed to the stabilizer bar.
