Stabilizer Bar Link: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation is necessary. Do not use a new part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.
- Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
- Remove the nut and disconnect the stabilizer bar link (5K483) from the suspension lower arm (3078).
- Remove the nut and stabilizer bar link.
NOTE:
To remove the nut, first loosen the nut, then use the hex holding feature to prevent the stabilizer bar link ball joint from turning while removing the nut.
