Stabilizer Bar: Removal
CAUTION:
Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital parts and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement 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.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND LIFTING .
- Remove the stabilizer bar link nut and bushings, stabilizer bar links and link spacers.
- Remove and discard the stabilizer bar bracket bolts and remove the stabilizer bar brackets and stabilizer bar.
- Inspect and, if necessary, install new stabilizer bar bushings.
NOTE:
This procedure must be carried out with the suspension at or near curb height.
