Stabilizer Wedge / Insert
SWING GATE
ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the insert up/down so that it is centered within the stabilizer cup.
2. Adjust the insert for/aft so the swing gate is 1.0 mm over flush to the D-pillar when the insert contacts the rubber bumper in the stabilizer cup.
3. Open the swing gate and tighten the bolts to 9 N.m (80 in.lbs.).
NOTE: Make sure the stabilizer cup and insert are parallel to each other and not twisted.
4. Close the swing gate and grab the beltline. Confirm minimal for/aft movement and that closing effort is not excessive. Readjust as required.
