Stabilizer Bar Bushing

A person should begin sway bar bushing service by removing two components: the air cleaner and the bolt. Place the vehicle on a hoist before you uninstall both wheels and tires from their assembly. The first step involves taking out two pushpins along with four bolts while both splash shields must be removed before finishing with shield fasteners. Position the heater water valve with bracket away from the work area by removing each necessary bolt. You should begin by taking out the right front bolt before removing the sway bar brackets along with their bolts. Complete the procedure by taking away the sway bar bushings. When installing new bushings avoid applying lubrication to them because installation requires replacement of worn bushings or those without sufficient grease. Conclude the installation process by following the reversal of removal steps and maintain all fasteners according to torque specifications to achieve proper suspension component function. The installation should use new components bearing the identical part numbers as replacements to prevent using inferior alternative parts.

Reinstall by reversing the removal steps.

Remove the right front bolt first.
