What does the manufacturer recommend when installing the front stabilizer bar links and stabilizer bar on Subaru Forester?

New 'self-locking' mounting nuts should be used when fitting the sway bar links as recommended by the manufacturer. First, free the wheel lug nuts then block the rear wheels, lift the front part of the motor vehicle and place it securely on jack stands then remove the front wheels. Subsequently, if there is one, remove the nuts of the links connecting the sway bar kit to the control arms, and then remove the fasteners of the clips of the sway bar bushing. For late model link designs, loosen the nut with an Allen head screw that is placed at the end of the link's ballstud. Next take off the sway bar bushing clamps and the sway bar kit for additional information of the repair procedure. Go further to unbolt the bushings from the sway bar kit and perform crack, deterioration or general ageing check on the bushing and for the sway bar kit, check the curved parts likewise the deformation and replace parts where necessary. There is a tradition of installing systems in reverse order to the removal process with specific effort being applied to the fasteners to bring them to the correct torque. Last, fix the wheels and lug nuts, drop the car, and tighten the lug nuts to the recommended pound-force.
