Rear









Inspect the stabilizer bar. Look for damage or bending. If damage is evident, the bar must be replaced.
Inspect for broken, cracked or distorted stabilizer bar cushions and cushion retainers. The horizontal slit at the front of each cushion is supposed to be there. If damage is evident, the cushions can be replaced separately from the stabilizer bar utilizing the horizontal slit.
Inspect the stabilizer bar links that attach the stabilizer bar to each rear strut. Look for damage or deterioration of the bushings on the ends of each link. Inspect the stabilizer bar link to ensure it is not bent or broken. If any of these conditions are present, the stabilizer bar link must be replaced. The links can be replaced separately from the stabilizer bar.
