When changing the front stabilizer bar on a 2012 and earlier, the first step is to loosen lug nuts on the front wheel, lift up the car and place it firmly on jackstands. Use parking brake and block rear wheels to ensure that it does not roll, and then take out the front wheels. Loosen the stabilizer bar connections of the bar by removing the lower nut, when the ballstud rotates, clamp it with an Allen wrench. Unbolt stabilizer bar bushing clamps and loosen the bar out between the subframe and the body. Check retainer bushings to confirm that they are not cracked or worn out and replace them in case of necessity. Wipe the bushing area with a hard wire brush and apply vegetable oil to the new bushing, with the slits to the back of the car. Petroleum or mineral based lubricants should be avoided. The reverse order of reinstallation is done and the fasteners are tightened up to required torque values. In 2013 and beyond, remove the negative battery cable and lock the
Steering Wheel. Unscrew the lug nuts of the front wheel, lift the vehicle and detach the wheels. Reduce the subframe using the correct procedures, unbolt the stabilizer bar brackets, and place the bar aside making sure that all the fasteners are tightened in their reinstitution. In the case of the rear stabilizer bar, one should loosen the lug nuts of the rear wheel, and raise the back of the car and obstruct the front wheels. Take off the rear splash shield (where necessary) and take off the rear wheels. Unscrew the bolts and remove the brackets of the stabilizer bar with a stabilizer bar link nut. Check the bushings and replace them in case of any damage, removing debris and rust on the mounting places. Change all the hardware screws with new ones and reassemble in the same order.
