Main stabilizer rod
On all models equipped with a rear anti-roll bar, it is located inside the rear suspension torsion beam. On twin-cam engines, an additional anti-roll bar is installed, which is bolted to the outside of the torsion beam (removal and installation are described below).
Place chocks under the front wheels of the car, then lift the rear of the car and secure it to the stands under the axle.
When working with the stabilizer bar, tighten the mounting bolt while loosening the nut.
Repeat this operation with the other nut on the other end of the stabilizer rod.
Remove the stabilizer bar rubber isolator from the center of the torsion beam.
From the side of the vehicle where the wheel is removed, remove the stabilizer bar through the end of the torsion beam.
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the stabilizer rod, such as light oil.
Make sure the rubber insulation gasket is properly positioned in the center of the torsion beam.
Install new stabilizer bar mounting bolts and nuts. Tighten bolts in three stages as specified.
Additional anti-roll bar rod
(models equipped with twin camshaft engines)
To improve access to the components, place chocks under the front wheels, then use a jack to raise the rear of the car and secure it to stands under the axle.
Remove the four bolts, two on each side of the stabilizer bar, while holding the nuts, and move the stabilizer bar away from the torsion beam.
Installation is the reverse of removal, but use new nuts and bolts. Hold the nuts while tightening the bolts in three stages as specified.
