Changing a stabilizer bar link on Dacia Logan

Raise each side of the car using the jack and place a jack stand under each side member

Wooden wedges can be used instead of candles.

remove the left wheel

and the right wheel

With the car lifted, the stabilizer bar is no longer under stress.

The connecting rods are located at the level of the suspension triangles

the head is a torx T40 imprint

Apply penetrating oil to the stabilizer bar link

lock the connecting rod screw using the T40 torx key

and unscrew the nut using the 10mm wrench

If everything is seized, you will need to use an angle grinder and cut the screw, being careful not to damage the stabilizer bar.

insert a lever between the stabilizer bar and the engine cradle and press down

I use a tire lever here.

the lower silentbloc must fall

we can remove the screw with its silentbloc as well as the middle silentbloc (it is sandwiched between the triangle and the stabilizer bar)

recover everything and compare with the new part

you have to disassemble the new part, you must have:

the screw with its silentbloc and the plastic spacer

the middle silentbloc

the lower silentbloc

the nut

use the lever and insert the central silentbloc between the triangle and the stabilizer bar

We will take care to position it correctly, the silentbloc has 2 lugs which fit perfectly into the stabilizer bar and the triangle.

insert the screw with its silentbloc and its spacer

insert the lower silentbloc

present the nut and tighten it by hand

The wishbone and stabilizer bar can be compressed by hand to expose the screw threads.

tighten the nut a few turns using the 10mm wrench

there is no real indication as to the tightening, for my part I try to tighten the nut to have approximately the same number of threads as originally

proceed in the same way for the other side

reassemble the wheels, remove the jack stands and the jack(s)

check that everything is in place correctly
