Stabilizer Link

The first step to replace the sway bar link is to lift and support the vehicle. The first step involves removing the sway bar nut attaching the link bolt before progressing to remove the sway bar link bolt and finally taking out the sway bar link insulators and spacers. Check the complete parts set for signs of both damage and wear. The first step for replacement involves inserting the sway bar link insulators and spacers into their proper places. The installation of sway bar link bolts can begin after you verify the complete removal of preexisting adhesive patches between threads and add Threadlocker GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) BLUE LOCTITE # 242. After that, add the sway bar link bolts then fasten the sway bar nut to the link bolt by tightening it at 10 N.m (89 lb in) while specifying 2-4 threads should exceed the nut length. Finish the installation process by removing safety stands before lowering the vehicle down to the floor.

The first step to change the sway bar link in the rear suspension involves raising and supporting the vehicle. Start the installation by removing the sway bar link nut along with its bolt from the frame bracket followed by the removal of the sway bar link nut from the ball stud before removing the sway bar link. Start by mounting the sway bar link before you secure the lower link nut because the inner jam nut must reach the bottom of the ball stud; clamp down the stud with appropriate equipment to keep the nut from slipping off when you tighten it. To finish the installation you must begin with the sway bar link nut placed onto the ball stud followed by attaching the sway bar link nut along with its bolt onto the frame bracket. Crank the frame bracket nut against the link to 75 N.m (55 lb ft) while the ball stud gains 75 N.m (55 lb ft) torque when attached to the sway bar and achieve 145 N.m (107 lb ft) nut torque for the sway bar link. Finally, lower the vehicle.

The first step to replace the sway bar link requires vehicle height adjustment and support. Drain the sway bar nut from the link bolt before removing the sway bar link bolt and finally extracting sway bar link insulators and spacers. Check the entire component for wear signs and damage. You should start the installation process by reattaching the sway bar link insulators and spacers. Clear every trace of the initial adhesive from the sway bar link bolts before you apply GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) BLUE LOCTITE # 242 Threadlocker GM P/N 12345382 to the threads. The installation of sway bar link bolts must be followed by attaching the sway bar nut to the link bolt with 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) torque before it should have 2 to 4 threads showing above the nut. The last task involves taking away security stands then lowering the car from its position.

The vehicle requires elevation followed by vehicle support for replacing the rear sway bar link. Begin by removing the sway bar link nut from the frame bracket with its bolt followed by the sway bar link nut from the ball stud and finally detach the sway bar link. Once you install the sway bar link it should be followed by tightening the lower link nut until the inner jam nut reaches the ball stud end. Fitting the sway bar link nut to the ball stud requires following the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. You should install the sway bar link nut where it mates with the frame bracket while torquing it to 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.). Complete the installation by torquing the sway bar link bolt and nut to the frame bracket at 65 Nm (48 ft. lbs.). Finally, lower the vehicle.

The vehicle needs raising and proper support to start sway bar link replacement. First drain the sway bar nut from link bolt before proceeding with sway bar link bolt removal then extract both sway bar link insulators and spacers from their positions. Grind all parts for inspecting wear and damage. Start your installation sequence by putting the sway bar link insulators with spacers into the correct position. A complete removal of the original adhesive patch must be performed before installing sway bar link bolts where the threads receive an application of Threadlocker GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) BLUE LOCTITE # 242. You should install the sway bar link bolts and then fasten each sway bar nut to a link bolt. Tighten the nut until it reaches 10 N.m (89 lb in) torque then proceed to extend it beyond the nut by 2-4 threading. Cut off support stands while reducing the suspended vehicle to the ground.

The first step to change the sway bar link requires that you lift and sustain the vehicle through support equipment. Remove the sway bar nut from the link bolt before moving onto the sway bar link bolt and finally removing the sway bar link insulators and spacers. A complete inspection should be done to check for damage as well as part wear. Installation of the sway bar link starts by putting spacers and insulators in place followed by the bolt installation sequence. Follow this procedure to tighten the sway bar nut against the link bolt to 10 Nm torque until the end of the threads appears beyond the nut. Complete the task by taking off safety stands while lowering the vehicle.

The stabilization process requires lifting up and supporting the motor vehicle as the first step. First remove the sway bar link nut from the link bolt and then take out both the sway bar link bolt and sway bar link insulators with their spacers. A thorough examination should be conducted to check for damage in all parts. The installation process starts by repositioning both sway bar link insulators and spacers. Before bolting the sway bar link to its place you must first clean away all original adhesive residues then apply Threadlocker GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) BLUE LOCTITE # 242 between the threads of each bolt. Mount the sway bar link bolts as the next step before fastening the sway bar link nut to the link bolt with a torque of 10 N.m (89 lb in) while allowing 2-4 threads to appear beyond the nut. The sway bar stays safe when clamp load loss happens because the link bolt threads should stick out by 2 to 4 threading above the link nut following torque completion. End the procedure by taking out safety stands before lowering the vehicle.
