Scion tC Stabilizer Bar Bushings Replacement at your home or office.

How do mechanics replace stabilizer bar bushings?

• Raise and support the vehicle using steel safety stands
• Remove tire and wheel assemblies on both ends of the axle.
• Detach stabilizer bar bushing clamp, or stabilizer bar link, depending on the location of the bushing to be replaced. Often, if the stabilizer bushing to the vehicle frame mount is being replaced, the stabilizer bar must be completely detached at all links for there to be enough space to install the new frame bushings.
• Once all bushings and required hardware are replaced, the bushing mounts are tightened with a load on the suspension. If required by the service manual, this step ensures the bushings will be in an unloaded condition and not pinched when the vehicle is sitting at normal ride height.
• The vehicle is lowered and road tested to ensure normal cornering; meaning body lean within acceptable limits and without noise.
