Replacement Stabilizer Bar Bushings - Lubricate Before Installing

Issue:

When replacing stabilizer bar bushings on XK Range and V8 XJ Series vehicles, the specified grease must be applied to the replacement bushings.

Action:

When replacing the front or rear stabilizer bar mounting bushings, apply Castrol NTR grease part no. 10558 to the inner face of the bushing. This action is required to allow free movement of the stabilizer bar within the bushings.

Caution:
When applying the grease make sure that only the inner face of the bushings is coated with grease. Grease applied to the outer face of the bushings will affect the retention of the bushing by the retaining bracket.





For both XJ series vehicles and XK series vehicles refer to the Workshop Manual, JTIS CD ROM section 204-01, SRO 60.10.04, for stabilizer bar bushing replacement (referred to as "mounting rubber" for V8 XJ Series).
