Stabilizer Bar Bushing

The Sway Bar Bushing replacement process begins by supporting the raised vehicle then continuing by removing all wheel and tire assemblies. The first step requires removal of the Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts followed by the sway bar bracket if equipped together with the oil pan skid plate. Lower the sway bar to reach the sway bar bushings which you must then remove for inspection of all parts for wear and damage. Position sway bar bushings on the shaft with slits toward the vehicle front before placing sway bar brackets over the bushings. Shack the Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts with 33 nm torque setting for 1 5 series vehicles while 25/35 series vehicles require 50 nm torque. Situate the sway bar links first before placing the oil pan skid plate on the vehicle if present and tighten all retaining bolts at 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). After finishing with the tire and wheel assembly it is necessary to remove safety stands then reduce the vehicle height.

Start the Sway Bar Bushing replacement by lifting the vehicle. The Idler Arm to frame mounting bolts need to be removed before detaching the idler arms from the frame. This establishes access to the sway bar bracket retaining bolts. First separate the sway bar bracket mounting bolt from the left-hand nut before proceeding with the removal of sway bar bracket mounting bolts on the right-hand side and sway bar brackets. A pry bar enables the lowering of the sway bar while the sway bar bushings are detached from their position. Use the pry bar to lower the sway bar before attaching its bushings onto the sway bar at a position where the bushing slit points toward the front. Before installing the sway bar brackets to bushings use right-hand sway bar bracket mounting bolts then left-hand sway bar bracket mounting bolts and nuts. Install the idler arms onto the frame and fasten them with mounting bolts to a torque of 105 nm (77 ft. Lbs.). Then, attach the sway bar bracket mounting bolts and the nut with a torque of 55 nm (41 ft. Lbs.). Finally, lower the vehicle.

Beginning the Sway Bar Bushing replacement process requires lifting the vehicle and supporting it before removing the tire assembly with the wheel. First remove the oil pan skid plate in case it exists on your vehicle. The first step requires removing bolts from the Sway Bar Bushing bracket followed by sway bar bracket removal. After lowering the sway bar you should extract the sway bar bushings and check every part for indications of wear and damage. Place each Sway Bar Bushing to the sway bar with slits oriented to the vehicle front before fastening sway bar brackets over them. The installation of Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts requires torque to 33 nm (24 ft. Lbs.) for 15 series vehicles and 50 nm (39 ft. Lbs.) for 25/35 series vehicles following fastener precautions. At first install the sway bar links before reinstalling the oil pan skid plate and securing its retaining bolts to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). After reinstalling the tire and wheel assembly the vehicle must be lowered with the removal of safety stands.

Mount the vehicle securely before starting work because you must first detach the tire and wheel before accessing the sway bar bushings. When present on your vehicle you need to remove the oil pan skid plate. First dismantle the Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts before removing the sway bar bracket. Lower the sway bar to remove the sway bar bushings from their brackets while inspecting all broken and worn parts. Place sway bar bushings on the shaft running frontward through its slits before fitting sway bar brackets on top of the bushings. The Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts need installation with a torque of 33 nm (24 ft. Lbs.) for 15 series vehicles and 50 nm (39 ft. Lbs.) for 25/35 series vehicles. The sway bar links should be reinstalled to the vehicle which requires reinstallation of the oil pan skid plate when present. Use 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) torque for securing the retaining bolts securely. After finishing the installation of the tire and wheel assembly you should remove safety stands before lowering the vehicle.

The Sway Bar Bushing replacement process begins with lifting the vehicle and supporting it after tire and wheel assembly removal. Begin by taking off any oil pan skid plate that is present then unfasten the Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts before proceeding with removing the sway bar bracket. After lowering the sway bar users can access sway bar bushings for removal. Users must inspect every part for wear while searching for damage. Install the bushings on the sway bar first while orienting their slits toward the vehicle front before placing the sway bar brackets over them. Screw in the Sway Bar Bushing bracket bolts and apply torque of 33 nm (24 ft. Lbs.) on 1 5 series models and 50 nm (39 ft. Lbs.) on 25/35 series models. You must install sway bar links prior to the oil pan skid plate if present according to torque specifications of 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Lower the vehicle after removing safety stands and then reassemble the tire along with wheel assembly.

Raising the vehicle is the first step to replace sway bar bushings. First disconnect the idler arms from the frame by removing the bolts which hold down the Idler Arm to mounting position while shifting the steering linkage to reach the sway bar bracket retaining bolts. First remove the left-hand sway bar bracket mounting bolt with its nut followed by the right-hand mounting bolts then remove the sway bar brackets. A pry bar should be used to lower the sway bar before taking off sway bar bushings from it. To install the sway bar reduce its height using a pry bar and place the sway bar bushings on the shaft with the slit positioned forward. Put the sway bar brackets on the bushings before fastening them with right-hand mounting bolts in accordance with the fastener notice in service precautions. Begin by mounting the left-hand bolt followed by securing its nut while all bolts and nut attain a torque rating of 55 nm (41 ft. Lbs.). After securing the frame-mounted idler arms with the mounting bolts set to 105 nm (77ft. Lbs.), you may lower the vehicle.
