Parts

-
Raise and block the front of the vehicle. Remove the front wheels to access the stabilizer bar links.
-
-
The link is attached to the shock absorber and to the stabilizer bar.
-
-
-
Using a T30 Torx bit and a 17mm wrench, remove the lower tie rod ball joint nut.
-
Once the nut is removed, do not release the axle from its support.
-
-
-
In the same manner as the previous step, remove the nut from the upper ball joint of the tie rod.
-
Once the nut has been removed, release the two connecting rod axles to remove it and clean the fixing points with a cloth.
-
-
-
Compare the connecting rods and use the new nuts provided for reassembly.
-
Hold the axle with the torx bit and tighten the self-locking nut with the 17 mm socket.
-
-
-
In the same manner as the lower ball joint, tighten the nut on the upper ball joint.

Good morning,
2 quick questions about this great tutorial:
Should we lift both front wheels at the same time or is it possible to lift one side at a time? (no risk of taking a shock absorber return or something else? I'm not an expert :))
What is the tightening torque for self-locking nuts when reassembling?
Kind regards,
David
Good morning,
Yes, it is better to lift both wheels so as not to unbalance the stabilizer bar and put tension on the connecting rods.
No risk with the shock absorber.
I don't know the tightening torque of the nuts. But it's better to tighten it quite strongly without deforming the rubber of the ball joint.
Sincerely.
