Lateral Stabilizer Rod: Testing and Inspection

Inspect the lateral arm isolator bushings and sleeves for signs of damage or deterioration. If the lateral arm isolator bushings or sleeves are damaged or are deteriorated, replacement of the entire lateral arm will be required. The isolator bushings are not serviceable as a separate component of the lateral arms.

Inspect the lateral arms for signs of contact with the ground or road debris which has bent or caused other 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.
