Stabilizer Shaft Replacement RWD

1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.



2. Remove the nuts (1) from the link bolt assemblies.
3. Remove the link bolts (3).
4. Remove the link assemblies (2).



5. Remove the insulator clamp bolts (3).
6. Remove the clamps (2).
7. Remove the stabilizer shaft (4).
8. Remove the insulators (1).
9. Inspect all of the parts for wear and damage.

Important: Place the insulators on the stabilizer shaft with the slits facing toward the front of the vehicle.

1. Install the insulators (1) to the stabilizer shaft (4).
2. Install the stabilizer shaft (4).
3. Install the clamps (2) over the insulators and the stabilizer shaft.

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.

4. Install insulator clamp bolts (3).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).




5. Install the link assemblies (2).
6. Install the link bolts (3).
7. Install the nuts (1) to the link bolt assemblies.
