Lincoln 7A1Z-5A772-AA Bar - Rear Stabilizer

The installation should be done in reverse of the removal process. The fasteners should be tightened to the torque values.

Remove the engine roll restrictor heat shield and related bolt, mark the location of the front sub-frame to the underbody at the mounting locations. Support the front sub-frame with floor jacks, remove the bolts and nuts from the sub-frame support brackets, and then remove the four sub-frame nuts, lowering the sub-frame with the jacks by about 3 inches.

The bushings should be inspected and replaced if cracked, worn, or deteriorated. The bushing area of the stabilizer bar should be cleaned with a stiff wire brush to remove any rust or dirt.

Proceed to remove the front and right-side fender splash guards, as well as the lower bumper cover from the subframe by removing the nuts. On 2014 and earlier models, detach the power steering hose bracket, and remove the front portion of the exhaust system if necessary.
