Lateral Stabilizer Rod: Testing and Inspection

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LATERAL LINKS
Inspect the lateral link isolator bushings and sleeves for signs of damage or deterioration. If the lateral link isolator bushings or sleeves are damaged or are deteriorated, replacement of the lateral link assembly will be required. The isolator bushings are not serviceable as a separate component of the lateral link assembly.
Inspect the lateral links for signs of contact with the ground or road debris, which has bent or caused other damage to the lateral link assembly. If the lateral link is bent or damaged, the lateral link will require replacement. Do not attempt to repair or straighten a lateral link.
