Note: remove under-body protective cover before proceeding.

Torque specifications

Fastener	Torque
Bushing bracket / link bolts (2 shown)	54-69 N·m (5.5-7.0 kgf·m; 40-51 ft-lb)
—	20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m; 15 ft-lb)

Procedure

1. Remove bushing bracket.
2. Bushing — if cracked or oil-soaked, replace.
3. Stabilizer link — replace if cracked, worn, or oil-soaked.
4. Stabilizer bar.

Special tools / notes

• Allen wrench, 10 mm.
• Use an Allen wrench and a box wrench together to properly tighten link pins.

Note: the painted marks on the stabilizer bar must protrude 10 mm (0.394 in), as shown in the diagram.

OCR note: the second torque value (20 N·m / 2.0 kgf·m) is not explicitly labeled against a specific fastener in the OCR text — (verify printed p.260) before assuming it applies to the same bolts as the 54-69 N·m value.
