4. Installation und Wartung
4.1. Pre-Installation Inspection
Before installing any new components or performing maintenance, thoroughly inspect the existing suspension components. Check for any signs of damage, such as cracks, tears, or splits in boots, or excessive looseness/free play in joints. If any such conditions are observed, the affected component should be replaced before proceeding with installation or greasing.
4.2. Greasing Procedure
The MOOG K80596 Stabilizer Bar Link features a greaseable design to maximize service life and smooth operation. While parts are pre-greased from the factory, it is recommended to grease them at the time of installation. This helps fill the boot and lubricate the mating surfaces, preventing contaminants from entering.
- Identify Grease Fittings: Locate the grease fittings on the stabilizer bar link. These are typically threaded into the dome cover plate.
- Use a Hand Grease Gun: A hand grease gun is the preferred method for greasing. If using a pressure grease gun, exercise caution to avoid damaging the boot.
- Apply Grease Slowly: Pump grease slowly into the component. The goal is to fill the boot and flush out old contaminants without over-pressurizing and damaging the boot.
- Recommended Grease Type: MOOG engineers recommend using a heavy-duty lithium or synthetic-based grease.
- Greasing Interval: It is recommended to grease these components at every oil change to ensure regular lubrication, especially with extended oil change intervals.
