Front
The
stabilizer bar interconnects both strut assemblies of the vehicle and is attached through rubber isolator bushings to the front
suspension cradle. Jounce and rebound movements affecting one wheel are partially transmitted to the opposite wheel through the stabilizer bar to stabilize body roll. Attachment of the stabilizer bar to the front suspension cradle is through 2 rubber-isolator bushings and bushing retainers. The split in the rubber isolator bushings should be positioned toward the rear of the vehicle, with the square corner down toward the ground, when the stabilizer bar is installed in the vehicle. The end of the stabilizer bar to strut assembly attachment is done utilizing a sway bar attaching link. Connecting the links to the strut assemblies helps reduce the fore-and-aft rate of the stabilizer bar from the rest of the rest of the suspension. All parts of the stabilizer bar are serviceable.
