If you hear a squeaking noise from the rear stabiliser bar, it is likely that the supporting bushes are damaged. To replace them, lift the vehicle on a ramp and locate the support bracket of the stabiliser bar (near the wheel suspension) where the bush is housed.

Unscrew the fixing bolts of the bracket, remove it, and extract the old bush. Insert the new bush and secure it in place with the appropriate bracket.

It is advisable to replace the other bush as well.
