Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Cadillac Seville. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the stabilizer shaft in position.
  2. Install the stabilizer shaft insulators to the stabilizer shaft brackets with the slit forward. See Figure.
    NOTE: Ensure the stabilizer shaft is centered before installing the bracket bolts.
  3. Bend bracket downward to close around the insulator.
    NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  4. Install the stabilizer shaft bracket retaining bolts. See Figure. Tighten stabilizer shaft bracket retaining bolts to 33 N.m (24 lb ft).
  5. Install the stabilizer shaft links. Refer to STABILIZER SHAFT LINK REPLACEMENT .
  6. Lower the vehicle.
