Subject:      replace stabilizer link Q?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


The Stabilizer Link on the passenger side of my bus broke today with a
disturbing noise during routine braking. It doesn't look like a difficult repair,
necessarily.


1. But what's the trick to getting the bushing that is in the top of the
stabilizer link's eye hole "buttoned" over the end of the stabilizer bar? Looks
like it might be a PIA.


2. Do the stabilizer links have to be replaced in pairs (both sides at once)?


3. Does any vendor offer a full front end bushing kit as most of my
stabilizer link bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, and whatever else is rubber up front
is all pretty dry and cracked. (I have replaced the ball joints recently).


TIA
