The failure of the stabiliser bar support bushes is a common fault, with the symptom being noticeable noise, especially when driving over uneven surfaces. Replacing these bushes is simple and inexpensive and does not take much time.

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and locate the fixing bracket of the stabiliser bar, which houses the bush. Unscrew the fixing bolts of the bracket and extract the old bush through the designated cut. Similarly, insert the new bush into the bracket and tighten the fixing bolts.

It is advisable to replace both bushes.
