Stabilizer Bar, Removing And Installing, Without Sway Stabilization: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install in the reverse order of removal while noting the following:

There must be no grease on the stabilizer bar and rubber bushing.
If a stud bolt for the clamp has loosened, tighten it all the way.

-- Install the threaded connections for the stabilizer bar only until the stop, but do not tighten yet.

Bonded rubber bushings have a limited range of rotation. Only tighten the suspension bolts when the vehicle is in curb weight position or at standard vehicle height.

-- Lifting the wheel bearing in curb weight position (refer to WHEEL BEARING IN CURB WEIGHT POSITION, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH COIL SPRING ) or at standard vehicle height (refer to WHEEL BEARING AT STANDARD VEHICLE HEIGHT, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH AIR SUSPENSION ).
