Lateral Stabilizer Rod: Testing and Inspection

Inspect each lateral arm. Look for signs of contact with an object that has caused damage to the lateral arm. If the lateral arm is bent or damaged, the lateral arm will require replacement. Do not attempt to repair or straighten a lateral arm.
Inspect the lateral arm isolator bushings and their sleeves for signs of damage or deterioration. If damage or deterioration is present, replacement of the entire lateral arm will be required. The isolator bushings cannot be serviced separately from the lateral arms.
