Stabilizer Bar, Removing And Installing: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi A4 allroad. 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:

NOTE:

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.

NOTE:

Bonded rubber bushings have a limited range of rotation. Only tighten the threaded connections for the suspension when the vehicle is in curb weight position.

-- Lift the wheel bearing in curb weight position. Refer to WHEEL BEARING IN CURB WEIGHT POSITION, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH COIL SPRING .
