Rear Stabilizer Bar: Installation

NOTE: Do not use any lubrication on the stabilizer bar or the bushings or damage to the bushings may occur.

NOTE: To prevent bushing damage and incorrect stabilizer bar operation, the stabilizer bar bushings must be located correctly on the stabilizer bar. The protrusion on both bushings must be facing the LH side of the vehicle for correct installation.
