Stabilizer Bushing: Service and Repair

Stabilizer Bar Bushing

Removal and Installation

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect the performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation is necessary. Do not use a new part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these parts.

NOTE: Do not apply grease or petroleum-based lubricants to the stabilizer bar bushings.
