Pontiac Vibe Sway Bar Bushing
The Sway Bar Bushing in Pontiac Vibe automobiles is one of the vital parts that improves the car's performance in terms of the shock absorbers and stability. These bushings are intended to dampen road irregularities, reduce noise and help sustain the sway bar which reduces 'Body Roll' during cornering. Most Pontiac Vibes contain front and rear sway bar bushings so that their handling is controlled adequately. Its operation is, however, likely to be hampered after some time and this may result to problems like less sensitivity of the car or upsetting noises. Small maintenance chores and care to lubricate the parts are crucial if the long life of the equipment and efficient energy is to be achieved. If there is any sign of wear which may cause rattling or squeaking for instance, it is very important to attend to such problems in order to ensure that the mechanical characteristics of the vehicle remain at optimal levels.
Each OEM Pontiac Vibe Sway Bar Bushing we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Vibe Sway Bar Bushing Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the front stabilizer bar and bushing on Pontiac Vibe?A: This procedure is still difficult for beginning mechanics as it calls for lifting the engine/transaxle assembly with a fixture or hoist, and unbolting and lowering the front suspension cross-member. Start by removing the front wheel lug nuts and by lifting the car and placing it on standing jacks in a secure manner. Stop/start the vehicle and when stopped, place the parking brake and turn the rear wheels to the left. Loosen both front wheels and free the metal loop of the sway bar from the bar or strut depending on the design. Remove the pinch bolt and nut from the lower end of the steering shaft and then from above suspend the vehicle so that the engine/transaxle assembly is off the ground. Then, undo the bolts to the engine transaxle cross member and then the sub frame crossmember to the chassis and lower the cross member with floor jack to access the Sway Bar Clamps. Loosen the sway bar bushing clamps and take out the sway bar checking the retainer bushings for signs of wear and renewing them in that case. Correctly remove the bushing of the sway bar kit and clean the area usually with a wire brush before installing the new bushing, which should be lubricated with vegetable oil in order to facilitate the reassembly of the other parts and equipment. Installation is done in the reverse of removal and all the fasteners are tightened appropriately. Standards recommend using a rod, with the diameter equivalent to the bolts when re-installing the subframe. Lastly, you fit a wheel and nuts and drop the car, then, finally, tighten the lug nuts and check the front wheel alignment is correct if it is not.
