Installation

INSTALLATION




1. If required, install the two cushions on the stabilizer bar (one on each side) utilizing the slit cut into the cushions (bushings).

NOTE: When installing the stabilizer bar on a vehicle with all-wheel-drive, position the bar so that the bar loops under the axle half shafts once installed, not over the axle half shafts.

2. Position the stabilizer bar (2) on the rear crossmember.
3. Install the two retainers (1) over the cushions at the mounting holes and install the retainer screws (3). Do not tighten the screws at this time.




4. On each side of the vehicle, install the stabilizer link upper stud in the end of the stabilizer bar (3). Install the nut (1) on each upper stud and while holding the stabilizer link stud stationary, tighten the nut (1) to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.).




5. Tighten the cushion retainer screws to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
6. Lower the vehicle.
