How to remove and install the Sway Bar and Sway Bar Bushing components of a vehicle's front subframe on Mazda 6?

The first step to take in order to remove the components is to loosen front wheel lug nuts, lift the front of the vehicle and sustain it on jackstands with the application of parking brake and blocking of rear wheels. The second step is to unscrew the front wheels and take off the stabilizer bar links with the bar with the help of an Allen wrench to hold the stud in case the ballstud rotates around the nut. Unhook the steering shaft and steering gear, but make sure not to turn the steering wheel in order to prevent rupture of the airbag clock spring. Next, loosen the tie-rod ends inserting the steering knuckles and take away the steering gear bolts. Separate the exhaust pipe/s off the exhaust manifold/s and hold the back of the subframe up with a floor jack. Relax the front sub frame mounting fasteners, strip the back sub frame fasteners and use the jack to lower the back of the sub frame. Unscrew the stabilizer bar bushing clamps and direct the stabilizer bar out of the subframe body. When the stabilizer bar is not connected, drop off the retainer bushings and examine them to see if they are cracked or worn and change them as needed. Wipe the stabilizer bar bushing area using a stiff wire brush to clean it off. During installation, grease the interior and exterior of the new bushing using vegetable oil in order to help in reassembling the bushing with the slits of the bushings oriented at the rear of the car. Lastly, removal is the opposite of installation and fasteners are supposed to be tightened at the required torque levels.

Mazda 6 Sway Bar Bushing

The Mazda 6 Sway Bar Bushing is important in ensuring that the car is flat and composed in corners, as the stabilizer bar is firmly anchored, although it is also able to move freely. This small rubber or synthetic sleeve, which is found between the anti-roll bar and the chassis, prevents metal-to-metal contact, absorbs minor bumps in the road, and blocks out rattles that would otherwise be felt in the cabin. It allows the bar to turn, and with the correct amount of grip on it, the bar twists a little, pushing weight out to the outside wheels and minimizing body lean, which directly increases the steering response and safety. There are two dominant positions, front and rear, depending on the sway bar that crosses its respective axle. The rear versions are concerned with the balancing of the car in cases of sudden lane changes, whereas the front units are concerned with more steering forces, but both are of the same basic profile of a donut with a center channel that has a diameter equal to that of the bar. Successive miles of heat, grit, and compression can either harden or crack the material, permitting excess clearance which leads to squeaks, clunks, and a looser feel at the wheel. By noticing these warning indicators and replacing the component immediately, the accurate level of ride that drivers anticipate from any Mazda car can be regained, and every Mazda sedan or wagon called 6 can have its reputation of flawless handling. Regular lubrication and regular checks also extend the life of each Sway Bar Bushing so that the Mazda suspension system can last longer as each Sway Bar Bushing silently works to serve its purpose.
