REMOVAL
1.Loosen the wheel nuts slightly.
Raise the rear of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
2. Remove the rear wheel and tire (A) from rear hub (B).
Be careful not to damage the hub bolts (C) when removing the rear wheel and tire (A).
3. Remove the left/right nuts (C) of the rear stabilizer links (B) from the trailing arm (A).
4.Remove the left/right mounting nuts (B) of the rear stabilizer bar brackets (A).
5.Remove the rear stabilizer link (A) nut (B) from the stabilizer bar assembly.

INSTALLATION
1.Install the rear stabilizer link (A) nut (B) to the stabilizer bar assembly.
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
50 ~ 65 (5.0 ~ 6.5, 36.2 ~ 47.0)
2.Install the bushing (B) on the stabilizer bar (A).
Bring clamp (C) of stabilizer bar (A) into contact with bushing (B).
3. One side bracket should be temporarily tightened, and then install the bushing on the opposite side.
4. Install the stabilizer bracket (A) bolt (B) to the cross member.
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
39 ~ 60 (3.9 ~ 6.0, 28.2 ~ 43.4)

5.Install the stabilizer link (B) nut (C) to the trailing arm (A).
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
50 ~ 65 (5.0 ~ 6.5, 36.2 ~ 47.0)
6.Repeat step 4 and 5 for the other side.
7. Install the wheel and the tire (A) to the rear hub (B).
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
90 ~ 110 (9 ~ 11, 65.1 ~ 79.5)
Be careful not to damage the hub bolts (C) when installing the rear wheel and tire (A).
INSPECTION
1.Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.
2. Check the stabilizer bar for bending or breakage.

3.Check the ball joint for rotating torque.
(1) If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
(2) Shake the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times.
(3) Mount the self - locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Specified torque :
0.5 ~ 2.5 Nm (5 ~ 25 kgf.m, 3.62 ~ 1.81 lb - ft)
Measure torque using the special tool(09532- 11600) and torque wrench at the range of 0.5 - 2 rpm after
moving the ball joint stud 10 times at room temperature.
(4)If the rotating torque exceeds the upper limit of standard value, replace the upper arm assembly.
(5) Even if the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it
has drag and excessive play.
