Video tutorial

The stabiliser bar or anti-roll bar is connected to the front suspension via rods known as links, which have spherical joints at their ends: these joints tend to wear out and become noisy. Their replacement is extremely simple; just unscrew the fastening nuts of the ball joint stem while keeping the shaft fixed using a hex key (to unscrew the part attached to the shock absorber, the front wheel must be removed); once the link is removed, simply replace it with the new one and tighten the nuts in the same manner.
