Replacement Algorithm
First you need to unscrew the wheel, hang it up with a jack and remove it.
The location of the stabilizer post is shown in the photo below.
To unscrew the fastening nuts, you will need a 14 wrench. At a certain moment, the stand finger itself may begin to turn, it must be held with a second 14 wrench in the place shown in the photo.
After all the nuts are unscrewed, the stabilizer link may not easily come out of the holes, because it is in tension (because the car is raised on one side - the stabilizer is in tension).
In order to make it easier to remove the old and install a new stabilizer bar, you can put a block under the lower arm and lower the car slightly from the jack so that the tension in the suspension loosened.
The new stand is installed in absolutely the same way, insert it into the holes, tighten the nuts, holding the stand finger with the second key.
Pay attention! The racks on the right and left are different, they are marked: the right rack with a red mark, and the left with a white mark.
