INSPECTION
1. Inspect the stabilizer bar, bushings, bushing retainers and attaching links for damage or excessive wear.

3. Thoroughly clean the stabilizer bar in the area of contact with the bushings.
NOTE: When installing the bushings on the stabilizer bar, the bushings must be installed so the split in the bushing will be facing up when the stabilizer bar is installed on the vehicle.
