Stabilizer Link: Service and Repair
Front
Stabilizer Bar Link
Removal and Installation
1. WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be turned off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during
these operations.
CAUTION: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure can result in
major service expense. A new part with the same part number must be installed if installation becomes necessary. If substitution is necessary, the
part must be of the same finish and property class. Proper torque values must be used during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of these
parts.
Turn the air suspension service switch off.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies.
3. Remove the bolts and position the caliper, pads and anchor plate aside.
4. Remove the brake disc.
5. NOTE: The stabilizer bar links are under pressure when the suspension is in the rebound position.
Using a suitable jack stand, raise the suspension arms until the pressure is released from the stabilizer bar links.
6. NOTE: Use the hex holding feature to prevent the stud from turning while removing the nut.
