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.
- Install the stabilizer shaft.
- Install the stabilizer shaft insulator clamp mounting nuts.
- Connect the stabilizer shaft links to the stabilizer shaft.
- Install the stabilizer shaft links to stabilizer shaft retaining nuts.
- Install the tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.

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.
