A method of making a stabilizer bar 10 from a tubular blank to which a bonding agent 32 is applied to the inside surface 76 of opposite ends of the tube. The tube may be provided with tubular inserts 80 that are also provided with a bonding agent. The bonding agent may be an adhesive that is cured and then the bonding agent is placed in an oven to melt the bonding agent. The ends are swaged to shape and the ends of the tube are trimmed and pierced to form a fastener eyelet 38 in each end. Optionally, the stabilizer bar may then be heated for hot working to form the bends along the length of the bar. After forming to shape, the stabilizer bar may be quenched and annealed.
