Q: How to remove and install the rear stabilizer bar and stabilizer bar bushing on Ford Taurus?
A: For 2009 and earlier front-wheel drive models, loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, remove the wheels, lower the exhaust system, and remove the sway bar. Inspect the bushings and replace the sway bar if necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal. For 2008 and 2009 all-wheel-drive models, measure the hub-to-fender lip distance, and remove the wheels, drive axles, and exhaust system. Remove the cross brace, sway bar links, and sway bar.
