Replacement of stabilizer bar rubbers

Model: Lexus IS MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Bushings

If you hear a squeak coming from the rear stabilizer bar then it is very likely that the relative support rubbers may have been damaged; in order to replace them, lift the car on the lift and intercept the seat of the support bracket of the stabilizer bar (near the wheel suspension) inside which the relative rubber is housed; then unscrew the fixing pins of the bracket, remove it and extract the old rubber pad and then insert the new one and fix it in its seat with the special bracket; it is advisable to replace the other rubber pad as well.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
