- Install each cushion (3) on the stabilizer bar (2) by opening the slit in side and wrapping it around the bar. When installed properly, the slit in the cushion should face toward the front of the car once the bar is installed.
- Perform the following on each stabilizer bar retainer (4):
- Hook the lower end of each retainer halve to the other.
- Install the two halves of the retainer (4) over the cushion (3), matching the contour of each retainer with the cushion. The slit in the cushion should face straight toward the forward halve of the retainer.
- Fold the crimp tab on the forward retainer halve over the rear halve crimping the two halves together.

- Hook the lower ends of the cushion retainers (1) in the slots in the rear of the axle (2), then rotate the opposite end of the retainers upward so the mounting bolts (3) can be installed.
- Install a mounting bolt (3) though each cushion retainer (1), into the threads in the rear axle (2). Tighten the retainer bolts to 61 N.m (45 ft. lbs.).
- Lower the vehicle.
