Stabilizer Link

Start the replacement of Sway Bar Link (FE7) by first lifting the vehicle and supporting it then removing all wheels along with the tires. The procedure starts by removing the sway bar link bolt and nut together with all sway bar link washers and insulators and spacer components. Start by placing sway bar link insulators and washers together with spacer and bolt and nut facing upward in correct order and fasten the sway bar link nut to the specified torque of 23 N.m (17 lb ft). Complete the process by putting back the tire and wheel then lower the vehicle down.

The first step to change the front suspension sway bar link requires lifting and supporting the vehicle. Removal of the sway bar link bolt starts the procedure while sway bar insulators and spacers need to be extracted next. The sway bar link components need to be installed loosely before tightening each sway bar link nut to 17 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). Install the front wheels then the tires before lowering the vehicle at the completion of the procedure.

The first step to replace the sway bar link in the front suspension requires vehicle lifting and suitable support. Move on to the following step by taking off both the front wheels and their attached tires. The next step involves removing both the sway bar link bolt together with sway bar insulators and spacers. Installation begins by installing sway bar links but leaving them slightly loose before torquing their nuts to 17 N.m (13 lb ft). After completing installation of the front wheels and tires users need to lower the vehicle.

The procedure to work on sway bar links for vehicles with rpo fe1 or fe3 starts by lifting the vehicle then supporting it with frame-based suspension to enable Control Arm free movement. Begin the process by taking out wheels along with tires. Service the Sway Bar Link by removing its bolts before taking out the link. Install the Sway Bar Link parts including insulators and washers along with the bolt and nut by initial loosening then tighten the Sway Bar Link nut to 17 nm (13 ft. Lbs.). Finish by replacing the front wheels along with the tires then secure the wheel nuts with 125 nm (80 ft. Lbs.) torque and bring down the vehicle.

The Sway Bar Link service begins with vehicle lifting then supporting the frame to let control arms droop freely. Beginning the Sway Bar Link maintenance starts with tire and wheel removal. The first step requires removing Sway Bar Link bolts before taking out the Sway Bar Link. Install the Sway Bar Link by placing insulators and washers with bolt and nut on it followed by tightening the Sway Bar Link nut to 17 nm (13 ft. Lbs.). Complete services by first attaching the front wheels and tires followed by wheel nut tightening at 140 nm (100 ft. Lbs.) then lower the vehicle down.
