Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the stabilizer shaft insulators to the stabilizer shaft. See Figure.
    NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  2. Install the stabilizer shaft insulator clamps to the stabilizer shaft and the crossmember.
    • Tighten the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp bolts to 65 N.m (49 lb ft).
    • Tighten the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp nuts to 95 N.m (70 lb ft).
  3. Install the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to TIRE AND WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION in TIRES AND WHEELS article.
  4. Lower the vehicle.
