Unscrew the lug nuts in the front wheel and lift the front of the automobile in place with jackstands. Turn on the parking brake and place something in the rear wheels to prevent rolling. Take out the front tires and splash covers. Removal of steering shaft joint cover and disconnection of steering shaft with the steering gear need to be done with the help of an Allen wrench, to retain ballstud in case the nut rotates with it. Looseen the tie-rod ends of the
Steering Knuckles. Place the crossmember on the floor with a support, loosen the lower mounting fasteners and upper mounting bolts, and raise the crossmember about 3-1/2 inches and place it on the jackstands on each side. Unscrew the stabilizer bar bushing clamps and take out the stabilizer bar out of the crossmember. When the stabilizer bar is not on, remove the retainer bushings and examine them, looking at them as to cracking, wear, or deterioration, replacing them when necessary. Wipe off the rust or dirt in the bushing zone of the stabilizer bar using a hard wire brush. Coat the internal and external surfaces of new bushing with vegetable oil to make it easier to put back together, but not with petroleum or mineral lubricants or brake fluid, which may cause the bushing to wear. The cuts of the bushings should be towards the back of the car. Installation is in the reverse sequence of removal attaching the fasteners to the required torque values.
