I recently discovered that the front driver's-side stabilizer link on my 81
Vanagon was broken. You know, the small bar which connects the stabilizer
bar to the lower control rod.  Is this a common problem?

Now that I have all the repair parts (thanks to Bus Depot & Burlington
VW) -- stabilizer link, upper an lower bushings, washers, nut -- how should
they be installed?  Bentley doesn't cover this well, except for their
illustration.

Any help would be appreciated.
