Pontiac 15857767 Stabilizer Bar Insulator

To remove the sway bar bushing kit, start by loosening the front wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle with jack stands. Remove the front wheels and, on four-cylinder models, the front section of the exhaust pipe. Disconnect the sway bar bushing kit links from the bar, making sure to hold the ball stud with a Torx or Allen wrench if it turns with the nut. Disconnect the left tie rod end from the steering knuckle and detach both sway bar bushing kit retainers from the subframe. Slide the sway bar bushing kit out of the left wheel well and inspect the retainer bushings for any cracks, wear, or deterioration. Clean the bushing area of the sway bar bushing kit with a stiff wire brush to remove any rust or dirt. To install the sway bar bushing kit, lubricate the inside and outside of the new bushing with vegetable oil for easier reassembly. Install the links, tightening the link nuts to the specified torque. Install the retainers and bolts, tightening them to the specified torque. Finally, install the wheels and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.
