Stabilizer Bushing: Testing and Inspection
Bushings Correctly Installed On Stabilizer Bar:
Inspect for broken or distorted retainers and bushings. If bushing replacement is required, bushings can be removed by opening slit in bushing and removing bushing from around the stabilizer bar. When bushings are installed on the stabilizer bar, the bushings must be installed with slit positioned on the stabilizer bar so slit will face the rear of the vehicle when the stabilizer bar is installed.
