Damage to the spherical joints of the links results in a noise that resembles a thumping sound, especially when driving on rough terrain; the link connects the stabilizer bar to the control arm of the suspension: to replace it, you must lift the vehicle on a lift and loosen the fastening nuts (hold the spherical joint axis with a hex wrench while loosening the nut); once the old link is removed, install the new one in the same manner: for a more effective result, it is recommended to replace both.
