Replacing the elements of the anti-roll bar

The rubber elements of the anti-roll bar - bushings and pillows - are replaced in case of cracking, tearing and swelling of the rubber, as well as in case of their significant wear, as a result of which there is a backlash in the connection of the parts.

We replace the racks and the bar of the anti-roll bar if they are mechanically damaged.



With a "12" spanner wrench, unscrew the nut securing the anti-roll bar strut, holding the strut bolt from turning with the "12" head through the hole in the suspension arm (wheel removed for clarity).



We remove the support washer, remove the bolt from the rubber bushing and remove the remaining elements of the rack: rubber bushings with washers.




You should pay attention to the fact that the rubber bushings are located with projections to each other, and the support cups - with bulges to the rubber bushings.

Similarly, remove the rack on the other side of the stabilizer.



With a "14" head with an extension, we unscrew the two bolts securing the stabilizer bar cushion bracket to the front panel..



... and remove the bracket.




Remove the split rubber cushion.

Similarly, remove the bracket and rubber cushion on the other side of the stabilizer bar.

Remove the right front wheel.



We derive the stabilizer bar through the wheel arch of the right front wheel.

We replace worn rubber bushings and pillows with new ones.

Having centered the stabilizer bar relative to the longitudinal axis of the car, we fasten it to the front panel without finally tightening the mounting bolts.

The subsequent assembly is carried out in the reverse order.



Tighten the strut bolt nut in the "car on wheels" position until the distance between the stabilizer strut support washers is 38 mm.

We finally tighten the bolts of the pillow brackets.
