Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations. Remove the front wheels.

Disconnect the stabilizer links from the stabilizer bar on the right and left.

Remove the front suspension subframe (A) from the body.

Remove the flange bolts (B) and bushing holders (C), then remove the bushings (D) and the stabilizer bar (E).

Install the stabilizer bar in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

Note the right and left direction of the stabilizer bar.

Align the ends of the paint marks (A) on the stabilizer bar with each end of the bushings (B).

Note the fore/aft direction of the bushing holders.

Refer to Stabilizer Link Replacement to connect the stabilizer bar to the links.
