[Abdullah]

i own 2000 Holden commodre 3.8L V6 VT model. the problem is when i ever install a new stabulizer rods and thier bushings they will only last for like 1 month and after that the bushings will be destroyed? i'm not sure why this is happening?

and one knows what is the torque specs for the stabulizer rods? and how to install them correctly?

thanks.

You probably have the bush retaining washers the wrong way around. They need to curve away from the bush, not curve into it as this shaves the bush away. And the tighter the better with a tad of loctite is the way to go on the top link nuts.

The nuts should be done up to the end of the thread on the link pin.
As chargedvx6 said, you probably have the cupped washers around the wrong way.

thanks for the replies. i will check the cupped washers and tighten the nuts as hard as i can. i will also use loctite thread locker if that will help.
