Replacement of anti-roll bar bushing

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

If you hear a noise very similar to a knock when driving on a bumpy road, it is likely that the stabilizer bar support bushings have yielded: it is obvious that even if only one bush has yielded, it is advisable to replace both; to carry out the replacement, lift the car and intercept the seat of the bushing on the bar (it is not necessary to remove the front wheel), unscrew the fixing pins of the support bracket and pry the bar just enough to extract the bushing which is equipped with a special cut; then insert the new bushing and fix it in its seat with the relative bracket.

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.
