2. Disconnect the stabilizer bar link from the lower suspension arm (see subsection 4).
3. Disconnect the shock absorber link from the lower suspension arm (see subsection 3).

Installation
6. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Tighten all fasteners to the required torques.
