Rear Stabilizer Bracket Removal Note

1.  Secure the rear stabilizer bracket flange using a vise.

ac5uuw00006539

Caution
•  The rear stabilizer bracket may be deformed if it is removed using a vise. When removing the rear stabilizer bracket using a vise, secure the rear stabilizer bracket flange to the vise as shown in the figure, then remove it.

2.  Remove the rear stabilizer bracket.


Suspension Links Installation Note

1.  When installing the joint sections with rubber bushings, perform the following procedures:

(1)  Temporarily tighten the bolts with the vehicle lifted up.
(2)  Lower the vehicle to the ground and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.


Rear Stabilizer Bushing, Rear Stabilizer Bracket Installation Note

Caution
•  Do not apply grease to the contact surface of the stabilizer bushing and the stabilizer bar. Otherwise, the stabilizer function may deteriorate.
•  Verify that there is no dirt or oil on the stabilizer bushing and the stabilizer bar. Wipe off any dirt or oil on the stabilizer bushing and the stabilizer bar.

1.  Install the rear stabilizer bushing with the slit pointing toward the front of the vehicle.
