It's right in the middle, just behind the splash shield.

Here's a picture showing it. Its the horizontal rod in the middle of the picture.

Remember that you have to turn the steering, not sure which way, so you can get at both of the bolts easily.

I get the feeling that my Graphite car needs one. Ok, that and a spare CPS, guess I should be ordering them, huh? (No hurry - it's COLD out there!)

Must be why it was so easy for this Southpaw,lol. So I'm guessing here, but if we need to turn our wheels to the drivers side to remove bolt, then so does he. But we turn Counter Clockwise and he turns Clockwise, Yes? Remember, he's RHD.

I bet the bolt in question is on the same side of the stabilizer, the manf. just put his steering wheel on the WRONG side......................j/k!

I just got back from the islands, and those crazy people are all driving on the wrong side of the road. Funny thing is, all the cars are left hand drive. Go figure. LOL...you will find the stabilizer. It is an easy replacement. What they are telling you, the bolt on the end can be hard to take off, if you don't turn the wheel to give you more room to take the nut off. Jack the car up on one side, 10 minutes, you are done. If you have a lift you can get on, 5 minutes,, you are done.

If you're in the southern hemisphere does clockwise turn into counterclockwise?

When I went down under they told me about it. Never took enough interest to watch it though.

Kylestocks, kidding aside, let us know which way you had to turn the wheels to remove the bolt. I wasn't really kidding, I think you need to turn yours to the right (your drivers side), but not really sure. Just curious about the RHD. Like Doc said though, quick and easy. Bob
