Abstract

A stabilizer arrangement for a motor vehicle for coupling two wheels of a vehicle axle line includes a first stabilizer part assigned to one wheel and a second stabilizer part assigned to the other wheel. An actuator couples the stabilizer parts and makes possible a pretensioning of the stabilizer parts. The first stabilizer part is connected non-rotationally with a first actuator connection and the second stabilizer part is connected non-rotationally with a second actuator connection. In order to provide stabilizer arrangements which can be used within the scope of large-scale production, at least one of the stabilizer parts is connected either directly with the associated actuator connection by a self-welded connection, such as friction welded connection or a laser welded connection, or is connected indirectly with the associated actuator connection over a coupling element, connected non-rotationally with the stabilizer part.
