Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 464484 Size: SH

    Important: Do NOT tighten the nuts and bolts completely. The weight of the vehicle must be on the wheels and tires before tightening the nuts and bolts.

  1. Install the stabilizer shaft link (9) to the stabilizer shaft (5). Secure with the nut (8).
  2. Install the stabilizer shaft link (9) to the control arm (4) using stabilizer shaft link bushings (3,11), washers (2,10) and nuts (1).
  3. Lower the vehicle.

    4. 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. Ensure that the stabilizer is centered, side-to-side. Verify that the stabilizer shaft links are set at a neutral position, as seen from above.

    5. Tighten

        • Tighten the stabilizer shaft link nuts (1) to 29 N·m (21 lb ft).
        • Tighten the stabilizer shaft link nuts (8) to 50 N·m (36.5 lb ft).
