Maintenance: Front stabilizer bar

[BlackSamurai]

Remember the "Dog-bone" (Front stabilizer bar) that Mr.Lee show us?

I change it 2 months ago, here is the pic to share, left and right.

You don't need to change it unless your mech advice you to do so, the syndrom of this loose "Dog-bone" is your steering wheel is very shacky when you run over some uneven road surface, for example, 1 Utama new wing parking lot entrance. But your steering wheel remain stable when you travel at high speed.


Sorry, dirty pic.

Macpherson Struct.

I have that symptom!

how much for the bone ah?

 

[BlackSamurai]

cow, you try to give Mr.Lee a call.
i left my bill at home, I can only get back to you on my purchase price this weekend.

btw, many components may contribute to steering shacky thing, part of mine is because i add in spacer. Things get better after i change the front stabilizer bar.

I thought the "front-stabilizer bar" is installed around the engine bay.
