Install the anti-roll bar strut elements on the lever: washer, upper rubber-metal hinge, install two rubber bushings between the lever and the stabilizer. Install the mounting bolt, the lower rubber-metal hinge, tighten the package of rack elements with a clamp and screw on the nut without tightening (clamp Sus. 1413 or Sus. 1734, Torx T40 angle wrench, "13" head).
Remove the clamp.
Install the anti-roll bar on the other side.
The order of tightening the anti-roll bar fastening elements:
- 1 - stabilizer strut mounting nuts. Tightening torque of nuts 14 Nm (1.4 kgf·m) (torx T40 angle wrench, replaceable head 13, torque wrench);
- 2 - bolts for fastening the anti-roll bar cushion brackets. Tightening torque of bolts 105 Nm (10.5 kgf·m) (18 mm head).
