Replacement of anti-roll bar elements (Chevrolet Lanos T150)

The rubber elements of the anti-roll bar - bushings and cushions - are replaced when the rubber cracks, breaks, or bulges, as well as when they are significantly worn out, causing play in the connection of the parts.

We replace the struts and the anti-roll bar if they are mechanically damaged.



Use a "12" spanner to loosen the nut securing the cross stabilizer bar, keeping the bar bolt from turning with a "12" head through the hole in the suspension arm (for clarity, the wheel has been removed).



We remove the support washer, the rubber bushing, take out the bolt and remove the remaining elements of the rack: rubber bushings with washers.





It should be noted that the rubber bushings are positioned with their protrusions facing each other, and the support cups are positioned with their convexities facing the rubber bushings.

Similarly, we remove the rack from the other side of the stabilizer.



Using a 14 mm socket with an extension, unscrew the two bolts securing the stabilizer bar cushion bracket to the front shield…



…and remove the bracket.



We remove the split rubber cushion.



Similarly, remove the bracket and rubber cushion from the other side of the stabilizer bar.

Remove the right front wheel.



We bring the stabilizer bar out through the wheel arch of the right front wheel.

We replace worn rubber bushings and cushions with new ones.

Having centered the stabilizer bar relative to the longitudinal axis of the car, we attach it to the front shield without completely tightening the mounting bolts.

We carry out subsequent assembly in the reverse order.



Tighten the strut bolt nut in the "car on wheels" position until the distance between the stabilizer strut support washers is equal to 38 mm.

Finally tighten the bolts securing the cushion brackets.
