1. Using a pry bar, move the stabilizer shaft rearward and Install the stabilizer shaft insulator.
2. Install the stabilizer shaft insulator in the stabilizer shaft bracket with the slit facing forward.
3. Bend the stabilizer shaft bracket downward to close around the stabilizer shaft insulator.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Important: Ensure the stabilizer shaft is centered before installing the stabilizer shaft bracket bolts.

4. Install the stabilizer shaft bracket bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the stabilizer shaft bracket bolts to 33 N·m (24 lb ft).

5. Lower the vehicle.
