### Removal Procedure

Caution: To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle at the opposite end from which components are being removed. This will reduce the possibility of the vehicle falling off the hoist.

1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2. Remove the stabilizer shaft link bolt from the rear lower control arm.
3. Remove the link from the rear lower control arm.
4. Lubricate the stabilizer shaft end liberally with silicone spray.
5. Shim the J 6627-A Tie Rod/Wheel Stud Puller if the rubber bushing starts to pull out of the link.
6. Use the J 6627-A Tie Rod/Wheel Stud Puller to press off the link from the stabilizer shaft.

### Installation Procedure

1. Clean the stabilizer shaft/link mating surface to allow for easier installation and to protect the bushings from damage.
2. Lubricate the stabilizer shaft with silicone spray.
3. Install the link to the stabilizer shaft.
4. Install the link to the rear lower control arm.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Install the link bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the link bolt to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

6. Lower the vehicle.
