  Q: How do you remove the rear stabilizer bar bushing and stabilizer bar link on Pontiac G6?

  A: To remove the rear sway bar on a vehicle, start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts and blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling. Then, raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands before removing the rear wheels. Mark the rear camber adjusting bolts for reinstallation. Next, remove the muffler assembly and, for 2005 and 2006 models, disconnect the wiring from the fuel pump module and EVAP vent valve solenoid harness. Lower the fuel tank enough to gain access. For all models, support the Control Arms and remove the rear axle toe links. If working on a 2007 or later model, remove the tie rod bracket brace. Unbolt the sway bar bushing clamp fasteners and inspect the bushings for damage. Replace them if necessary. Detach the sway bar link-to-knuckle bolts on both sides and remove the bar. To install, lubricate the new bushings with vegetable oil and slide them onto the sway bar. Install the sway bar link and clamp bolts, tightening them to the specified torque. Finally, install the wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the correct torque.

  Q: How do you remove the front stabilizer bar and stabilizer bar link on Pontiac G6?

  A: To remove the sway bar on a vehicle, start by loosening the front wheel lugnuts and raising the front of the vehicle. Support it securely on jackstands and remove the front wheels. Next, remove the nuts that attach the sway bar link to the strut coil spring assembly and to the sway bar, and detach the links. Then, remove the bolts from the sway bar bushing retainers and pry them off if necessary. Inspect the bushings for any cracks or tears, and if they are damaged, replace both of them. Additionally, if the ball studs on the links are loose or worn, replace the links. To install the sway bar, start by tightening the link nuts to the proper torque specifications. Then, clean the areas on the sway bar where the bushings are located and lubricate the inside and outside of the new bushings with vegetable oil. Install the bushings with the slit in each bushing facing towards the rear of the vehicle. Next, install the retainers and bolts, tightening them to the proper torque specifications. Finally, install the wheels and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the wheel lug nuts to the proper torque specifications.
