I bought my son a 1992 Cavalier Z24 Convertabe last year. There were some hidden flaws in that little guy. The stabilizer bar was not connected at all. And one of the linkages was almost welded on there. What a great opportunity to use my grinder!!!
First things first. You will need to remove both front tires. And you will need both sides of the front of the vehicle raised. Once that is done, remove all previous linkages by grinding them off. TIP: even after you cut halfway through, the bolt will still twist so that you may get the other half.
Next, use a pry-bar of sorts to pry down the stabilizer bar. Do this on both sides and if it wont hold on its own, jam something in there to hold it in place so that you can add your assembly.
They should go on the bolt in a washer, rubber, rubber, washer arrangement. There will be a metal spacer between both ends as well. Use your prying device to help position the sway bar onto your bolt assembly and get the final nut crewed on top of the whole thing to hold it into place. To around to the other side and do the same thing. Then, tighten them both down. Put the tires back on and drop the vehicle.
You ARE a friggen Grease Monkey!!
