Important: For correct installation of the stabilizer shaft, align the paint match marks (3) on the stabilizer shaft with the stabilizer shaft insulators (2).

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: Verify the vehicle's weight is on the tires and wheels. Verify the stabilizer shaft (5) is centered, side-to-side, and the insulators are aligned with the match marks on the stabilizer shaft. Verify the stabilizer shaft links (9) are set at a neutral position, as seen from above.

Tighten
Tighten the stabilizer shaft insulator bracket bolts (7) to 23 N·m (17 lb ft).
