STABILIZER BAR CUSHIONS

REMOVAL

NOTE: Before proceeding, Refer to Service Precautions.

1. Remove the rear stabilizer bar from the axle.





2. Bend back the crimp tab at the top of the retainer, which secures the two halves of each cushion retainer together. Remove the retainer halves.
3. The cushions can be removed from the bar utilizing the performed slit in each cushion and peeling them off the bar.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the cushions on the stabilizer bar by opening the slit in each cushion and wrapping it around the bar. When installed properly, the slit in the cushion should face toward the front of the car once the bar is installed.
2. Perform the following on each stabilizer bar retainer:
a. Hook the lower end of each retainer halve to the other.
b. Install the two halves of the retainer over the cushions, matching the contour of each retainer with its cushion. The slit in the cushion should face straight toward the forward halve of the retainer.
c. Fold the crimp tab on the forward retainer halve over the rear halve crimping the two halves together.
3. Install the stabilizer bar on the rear axle.
