[index] | |  | | 29.09.2007: Jack stands | |
Secure the car on jack stands, take the front wheel off. Both wheels need
to be in the air, otherwise it becomes difficult to align the anti-roll
bar link with its mounting hole on the strut. Spray the bolts with rust
solvent and wire brush the threads on the anti-roll bar link and knuckle
housing bolts.
