Caution
•  Secure the steering wheel using tape or a cable to prevent the steering shaft from rotating after disconnecting the steering shaft. If the steering wheel rotates after the steering shaft and the steering gear and linkage are disconnected, the internal parts of the clock spring could be damaged.
•  Install the front stabilizer being careful for the following so as not to decrease the functionality of the front stabilizer.
?  Do not apply grease to the front stabilizer bushing and front stabilizer contact area.
?  Verify that there is no dirt or oil on the front stabilizer bushing and the front stabilizer.
•  Wipe off any dirt or oil using a clean rag.
•  Do not allow the dust boot of the front stabilizer control link to touch the body, the front shock absorber and coil spring, and the hand tool. Otherwise, the dust boot of the front stabilizer control link could be damaged.

Caution
•  The front stabilizer bracket may be deformed if it is installed using a vise. When installing the front stabilizer bracket using a vise, set the cylinder-shaped parts as shown in the figure so that pressure is applied to the front stabilizer bracket flange, and install the front stabilizer bracket to the front stabilizer bushing.
