  Q: How do you replace the front stabilizer bar,bushings and links on your Acura MDX?

  A: To replace bushings and links, loosen the front wheel lug nuts and raise the vehicle with jack stands. Remove the wheels and the bolts from the Sway Bar Bushing retainers. Remove the nuts attaching the Sway Bar Link to the strut/coil spring assembly and Sway Bar Kit. Detach the links, holding the stud with an Allen wrench if needed. Inspect the retainer bushings for damage and replace if needed. If the ball studs on the links are worn, replace the links. Install new links and retainer bushings, lubricating them with vegetable oil. Install the retainers and bolts, tighten to the specified torque, and reinstall the wheels. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts. For a 2007 Acura MDX, the Sway Bar Kit can be removed without removing the sub frame. For other models, a body repair shop should remove the sub frame.

  Q: How to remove the rear stabilizer bar,bushings and links in a Acura MDX?

  A: Sway Bar Kit removal often requires removing the rear sub frame, usually due to accident damage. It's likely other components, like the sub frame, are also damaged. We advise a professional inspection before replacing the Sway Bar Kit. The rear Sway Bar Link replacement is similar to the front. On 2007 Acura MDX models, sub frame removal isn't necessary for Sway Bar Kit removal. The links and Sway Bar Bushing can be removed as described.
