1. Remove the front wheels (see above).
2. Disconnect the rods from the stabilizer.
3. Remove the stabilizer bushing holders and remove the bushings from the stabilizer.
4. Install in the reverse order of removal.
- During installation, align the ends of the bushings with the marks.
- When connecting the links to the stabilizer, see the section below "Removing and installing the stabilizer links".
5. Check and adjust the wheel alignment angles (see above).
Removal and installation stabilizer rods
1. Remove the front wheels (see above).
2. Disconnect the rods from the stabilizer (see above).
3. Disconnect the stabilizer links from the lower arm and remove them.
4. Install in the reverse order of removal.
Connect the rods to the stabilizer in the following order:
Bring the ball joint pin of the tie rod to the center of its movement area, connect it to the stabilizer and lower arm and tighten the nuts by hand.
Transfer the weight of the car to the stabilizer by raising the suspension with a jack.
Secure the ball joint pin with a hex key and tighten each nut to the specified torque.
After 5 minutes of tightening the stabilizer self-locking nuts, re-tighten the nut on the stabilizer side with the required force.
Replacing the longitudinal rod bushings
1. Remove the front wheels (see above).
2. Disconnect the trailing arm from the lower arm.
3. Unscrew the self-locking nut (12 mm), remove the washer and the front bushing.
4. Remove the rear bushing, washer, gasket and bushing.
5. Install the longitudinal rod in the reverse order of removal. Replace the bushings with new ones.
Do not confuse the front hub with the rear one.
Removal and installation the upper arm
1. Remove the front wheels (see above).
2. Remove the front shock absorbers (see below).
3. Disconnect the wheel sensor wiring bracket from the upper arm.
4. Disconnect the upper arm from the steering knuckle.
5. Remove the two flange bolts and remove the upper arm.
6. Install the upper arm in the reverse order of removal.
When installing the upper control arm, tighten the suspension components in the following order:
- After installing each component, tighten the bolts/nuts by hand.
- Transfer the weight of the car to the suspension by raising it with a jack.
- Tighten the bolts/nuts to the required torque.
7. Check and adjust the wheel alignment angles (see above).
