Removal

CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in major service expense. They must be replaced with the same part number or an equivalent part if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during re-assembly to ensure proper retention of these parts.

2. Remove the nuts from both lower ends of the stabilizer bar links and remove the washers.






3. Remove the nuts and washers from both upper ends of the stabilizer bar links-to-frame and remove the links.
