Removal Procedure
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Remove the stabilizer shaft links to the stabilizer shaft retaining nuts.
- Disconnect the stabilizer shaft links from the stabilizer shaft.
- Remove the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp mounting bolts.
- Remove the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp from the stabilizer shaft insulator.
- Remove the stabilizer shaft from the vehicle.
- Remove the stabilizer shaft insulators from the stabilizer shaft.
Notice: Do not pry on the stabilizer shaft link. Use care when removing or installing the stabilizer shaft link in order to avoid tearing or puncturing the stabilizer shaft link boot. Damage to the stabilizer shaft link boot will lead to damage to the stabilizer shaft link.
Installation Procedure
- Install the stabilizer shaft insulators to the stabilizer shaft.
- Install the stabilizer shaft to the vehicle.
- Install the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp to the stabilizer shaft insulator.
- Install the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp mounting bolts.
- Install the stabilizer shaft links to the stabilizer shaft.
- Install the stabilizer shaft links to stabilizer shaft retaining nuts.
- Lower the vehicle.
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.
Tighten
Tighten the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp mounting bolts to 55 N·m
(41 lb ft).
