Genuine Bentley Suspension Coupling Rod Link 971511467M

Product Overview

The Genuine Bentley Suspension Coupling Rod Link 971511467M is the original rear anti-roll bar coupling rod for your Bentley, made to the factory specification for the rear suspension. A coupling rod, also called a stabiliser link or drop link, connects the rear anti-roll bar to the suspension on each side of the car, so the bar can resist body roll in corners and keep the car level and composed. This listing is sold under the Bentley OE number 971511467M. The 971511467 number family is a shared Volkswagen Group and Porsche number: factory and supplier catalogues list the rear coupling rod under revisions including 971511467D and 971511467F for Bentley Continental and Flying Spur models, alongside Porsche Panamera and Taycan applications on the same platform. The M revision suffix on this listing was not shown in the catalogues we checked, so please confirm by VIN before ordering and our parts team will verify the exact revision for your car.

Part Numbers & Reference Codes

OE part number: 971511467M, also written 971.511.467.M. The same rear coupling rod family is catalogued as 971511467D, superseded by 971511467F, with further revisions including 971511467B, 971511467C, 971511467E and 971511467L in supplier cross-references. Aftermarket cross-references for the family include Delphi TC8516, Lemforder 35681 01, Moog VO-LS-15611, Meyle 4160600028/HD and Febi Bilstein listings, all described as a rear axle coupling rod. Eurospares lists the family part on the Porsche anti-roll bar diagram as COUPLING ROD, with the instruction to use in pairs only, and notes that 971511467F replaces 971511467D. Always order and verify by the full number 971511467M and by VIN, because the revision letter matters.

Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment

Supplier catalogues for this OE family list Bentley Continental from 2017 onwards and Bentley Flying Spur from 2019 onwards, covering the current Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur generations that share their platform architecture with the Porsche Panamera 971 and Taycan. See the Fitment Details tab for the model table. The rod is a rear axle part, fitted on the left and right sides, and the same physical family also serves Porsche Panamera and Taycan rear anti-roll bars, which is why the number appears in Porsche catalogues. Because Bentley revised this rod several times, and because this listing carries the M suffix, exact compatibility depends on your model, production date and the revision already fitted to your car. Send your complete VIN to our parts team before ordering and we will confirm 971511467M against the factory data for your exact vehicle.

Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Bentley coupling rod: the original rear anti-roll bar link, made to the factory specification for length, joint articulation and durability.
• Rear axle position: catalogued as a rear axle coupling rod, not a front link, so it matches the rear anti-roll bar installation on Continental and Flying Spur models.
• Restores roll control: a worn link knocks over bumps and lets the anti-roll bar work unevenly; a new genuine rod restores quiet, level cornering.
• Use in pairs: the factory diagram note for this family says use in pairs only, so both rear links work evenly and age together.
• Shared platform number: the 971511467 family is shared with Porsche Panamera and Taycan production, reflecting the common platform under these cars.

Technical Specifications

Installation Position & Fitment Notes

This coupling rod installs at the rear axle, linking the rear anti-roll bar to the suspension arm on each side of the car. Access is from underneath with the car safely raised, and the rod is secured by its ball joint studs at each end. Worn rear links typically announce themselves with a knocking or rattling noise over uneven surfaces and speed bumps, and play can often be felt at the joint when the suspension is unloaded. Because the factory instruction for this part family is to use the rods in pairs, we recommend renewing both rear links together rather than mixing a new rod with a worn one. After fitting, check the anti-roll bar bushes and the surrounding suspension joints while the car is on the lift, and confirm there is no remaining play or noise on a road test.

Product Brand, Type & Condition

What’s Included in the Box

This listing includes one (1) Genuine Bentley Suspension Coupling Rod Link, OE part number 971511467M. The factory guidance for this part family is to use the rods in pairs, so consider ordering two if both rear links are being renewed. Fixings supplied with the car should be inspected at fitting and renewed if corroded.

Installation Requirements

Professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended. The car must be raised safely, the old rod removed without stressing the anti-roll bar, and the new rod fitted with its joint studs seated correctly and tightened to the Bentley specification. A brief road test afterwards confirms the knocking has gone and the car corners level.
