Default Steering Stabilizer question...

So the replacement part came in the mail today and is ready for what I hear is an installation. So, hey! Let's make the install even easier!!!!!...Is it possible to jack up one side of the car to complete the install or do I need ramps / jack stands?

I also changed mine with just jacking up the one side (drivers side), but make sure to use a jack stand since you will have to turn the wheels to access one of the bolts, if I remember correctly, but yes its a very easy job to do, it will take you longer to jack up the car and remove the splash sheild to get at the stabilizer, than it will take to replace the stabilizer. You should use lock tight on the threads when you re-install the bolts/nuts.

I was actually able to change mine without jacking the car at all. I did one bolt from one side and one from the other.(I havent had that splash pan on for a long time)
I wouldnt be able to do that now that I lowered the car though....

Jacking it up makes it soooooo easy though.
