2. Remove the nuts securing the stabilizer bar links to the stabilizer bar and to each front suspension lower arm.
3. Unscrew the two clamps (photo), remove the stabilizer, then the scenes.

4. Check the anti-roll bar and all rubber bushings and replace them if necessary. Check the ball joints of the rocker, replace the connection if necessary.
5. When installing, first clean the areas around the mounting points on the lower control arms and the underbody.
6. Install the rockers on the lower arms. the ball joint post protrudes rearward and the links pass down through the belleville washer (concave surface down), then install the rubber bushing, lower arm, second rubber bushing and second belleville washer (concave surface up). At this stage, loosely tighten the nut.
7. Manipulate the other end of the anti-roll bar to install it into the vehicle. Attach it to both rocker ball joint posts first, align the rubber bushings, then install both clamps. Tighten the bolts evenly, but not until the torque is fully set at this stage.
8. Using the rocker hexagon, rotate each link until it is perpendicular to the anti-roll bar, then moderately tighten both nuts on each link (pic. 10.18).

9. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Once all the weight is on the wheels, rock the car to settle the suspension parts.
10. Tighten the stabilizer bolts evenly to the tightening torque specified in Specifications.
11. On every stage (photo), fix the links perpendicular to the anti-roll bar, screw in the lower arm lock nut and then tighten it with the tightening torque specified Specification. Finally, tighten the anti-roll bar lock nut to the specified torque Specification.
