Installation

1. If inspection of stabilizer teal determined that stabilizer teal to flame rail bushings require replacement. Install new bushings by first removing old bushing from stabilizer bar by opening split and peeling bushing from stabilizer bar. Then thoroughly clean stabilizer bar in the area of bushing contact. Install new bushings on stabilizer bar by opening slit and wrapping bushing around stabilizer bar and position it against retainer ring on stabilizer bar. The split in the bushing that is shown must be facing upward toward the frame when the stabilizer bar is installed.

NOTE: When installing the stabilizer bar, the split in the bushing must be facing upward toward the frame of the vehicle.

2. Install the stabilizer bar and attaching links as an assembly back on the frame of the vehicle.





3. Install the bushing retainers, bolts and flag nuts.

NOTE: Before tightening the bushing retainer bolts, position the stabilizer bar so the attaching links are close to their mounting bolt holes in the rocker arms. The stabilizer bar is extremely hard to move after the bushing retainers are tightened.

4. Tighten the bushing retainer bolts to a torque of 30 Nm (265 inch lbs.).
5. Install the front fascia on the vehicle.





6. Install and securely tighten the 2 screws attaching the fascia lower mounting bracket to the front structure.
7. Lower the vehicle until the front tires are supporting the weight of the vehicle.

NOTE: When installing the stabilizer bar attaching link to rocker arm bolts it may be necessary to raise or lower the vehicle slightly. This will help align the bolts with the holes in the rocker arms making it easier to install the bolts in the rocker arms.





8. Install the stabilizer bar attaching link bolts in the rocker arms. Install the nuts on the stabilizer bar attaching link bolts.





9. Tighten the stabilizer bar attaching link bolts using a flex socket and extension to a torque of 60 Nm (45 ft. lbs.).
