Caution
•  If the steering wheel rotates after the steering shaft and the steering gear and linkage are disconnected, the internal parts of the clock spring could be damaged. After disconnecting the steering shaft, secure the steering wheel using tape or cable to prevent it from rotating.
•  Install the front stabilizer being careful of the following so as not to decrease the functionality of the front stabilizer.
―  Do not apply grease to the stabilizer bushing and stabilizer bar contact area.
―  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.
•  Do not allow the dust boot of the front stabilizer control link to touch the body, the front shock absorber and coil spring, and the hand tool. Otherwise, the dust boot of the front stabilizer control link could be damaged.
