Attention! Brake the vehicle with the parking brake and place wheel chocks under the rear wheels ("shoes").
1. Remove one nut securing the stabilizer struts on both sides of the vehicle.
2. Remove two nuts securing the stabilizer bar brackets on both sides of the vehicle.
3. Remove brackets and stabilizer bar together with struts.
4. If it is necessary to replace only the stabilizer struts or their bushings, unscrew the nuts securing the struts to the arms and knock the struts off the stabilizer bar with a wooden or polymer hammer.
5. Examine the stabilizer bar. It should not have deformations, the ends should be in the same plane. With a slight change in geometry, the stem can be straightened, otherwise replace it. If the stabilizer pads are worn, torn, loose, or loose on the stem, replace them.
6. Check the struts and bushings. Replace warped stanchions and bushings if they are worn, torn, cracked, loose or loose on the stem.
Since a press is required to replace the worn rubber bushings of the stabilizer struts, it is easier to replace the strut together with the bushings.
7. If you need to replace the stabilizer pads, put new pads on the bar at a distance of 350 mm from the middle of the bar with cuts to the front of the car. Put the racks on the bar.
8. Install the rod and tighten the nuts securing the stabilizer cushion brackets until the gap in the cushion cuts is eliminated (if the pillows are split). Tighten the front nuts first (from the side of the cut), then back.
9. Wrap nuts of fastening of racks before the choice of backlashes between racks and levers. Finally tighten all nuts of fastening of the stabilizer at the loaded suspension (while the car is on the ground). The moment of an inhaling of nuts of fastening of a rack 43–53 Nm (4.3–5.3 kgf·m), bracket mounting - 13–16 Nm (1.3–1.6 kgf·m).
