Stabilizer Bar Bushing, Blue

The initial step for replacing the Sway Bar Bushing on an all-wheel-drive vehicle includes raising and supporting the car. Start by disconnecting the height sensor from the lower Control Arm and disconnect its bracket bolts and nuts respectively. The procedure involves removing Sway Bar Bushing brackets together with automatic level control (ALC) position sensor and extracting the bushings from the sway bar. To install the system start by setting the sway bar bushings onto the bar before securing the Sway Bar Bushing brackets together with the alc position sensor if this sensor must be installed. Secure the Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts while tightening its nuts to 85 nm (63 ft. Lbs.). Connect the height sensor to the lower Control Arm after installation if required before performing a vehicle height reduction.

The procedure for sway bar bushing replacement begins by lifting and supporting the vehicle. You must turn the wheels to reveal the sway bar bushing brackets before unbolting left and right bracket bolts and then detaching the brackets. The next step requires removal of left and right sway bar bushings from the sway bar structure. The installation requires you to mount left and right side sway bar bushings onto the sway bar then reattach the brackets. Follow up the bolt installation of left and right side sway bar bushing brackets by applying torque to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) before letting the vehicle down.

The first step for repairing or servicing the rear sway bar bushing includes lifting the vehicle to a proper position for maintenance. As the next step remove the sway bar bracket bolt before detaching the sway bar insulator bracket. The technician should detach the sway bar insulator from the sway bar. The first step for installation involves putting the sway bar insulator on the sway bar before installing the sway bar insulator bracket. The Fastener Notice found in Service Precautions should be followed during this operation. Toward the end of the process install the sway bar bracket nut while tightening it to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) and lower the vehicle at the end.

Vehicle lifting and support are essential at the beginning of sway bar bushing repair and servicing work. A technician should first move the tires for accessing sway bar insulator brackets before removing bolt fasteners from both left and right side sway bar insulator brackets. Start by separating the left and right side sway bar insulators from their mounting position on the sway bar. Install the sway bar insulators first onto their positions on the bar before reattaching the sway bar insulator brackets. The left and right side sway bar insulator bracket bolts need to be installed following the fastener notice in service precautions while achieving a torque value of 48 Nm (35 inch lbs.). Finally, lower the vehicle.

Vehicle elevation and support are necessary before starting to replace the sway bar bushings. You should first turn the tires to get to the sway bar bushing brackets before removing their corresponding bolts from each bracket followed by taking out the brackets. Move on to removing both left and right side sway bar bushings from their positions on the sway bar. The installation process requires you to position the left and right side sway bar bushings on the sway bar followed by reattachment of their brackets. The bolts used for left and right side sway bar bushing bracket installations need to be tightened up to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) according to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Finally, lower the vehicle.
