Stabiliser Bar Link Replacement

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Anti-roll bar

Removing and replacing the links connecting the suspension wishbone to the stabiliser bar is extremely simple: the only detail is to hold the ball joint axis with an 8 mm hex key to unscrew the fixing nut. Once the old link is removed, fit the new one and proceed in the same manner for securing it. It is advisable to replace both links since if one is already completely damaged, the other will soon fail due to the stresses it is subjected to.
