- If dust cover is replaced, slide new dust cover up to stopper on right side's suspension arm. Apply grease to outside of right suspension arm. Using right suspension arm, install rubber stopper into left suspension arm.

- Ensure stabilizer bar mark aligns with punch mark on stabilizer bar bracket. Install inner and outer rubber bushings, fixtures and washers. DO NOT apply grease to bushings or shaft threads.
- Ensure toothed side of washer faces bushing, and cutout area of fixture faces forward. Install fixtures and suspension arm in original position. Ensure marks scribed during disassembly align. Install nuts.
- Tighten nuts to specification with vehicle at normal operating height and no load. See appropriate TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article. Pack dust cover with grease and secure with new clamp.
