Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted on jack stands. Remove any existing stabiliser rod if replacing an old component.
2. Alignment Check: Verify that the mounting points are clean and free of rust or debris. Use a torque wrench to pre‑tighten any bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended value (typically 30–35 Nm).
3. Mounting: Position the Lemförder rod between the rear suspension arms, aligning the integrated bushings with the mounting holes. Secure with the supplied bolts.
4. Tightening Sequence: Tighten in a criss‑cross pattern to ensure even load distribution. Re‑torque after the vehicle has been lowered and driven a short distance (10–15 km) to allow for settling.
5. Final Inspection: Check for any play or misalignment. Verify that the anti‑roll bar is functioning correctly by performing a side‑to‑side sway test.

Benefits of Upgrading to Lemförder 35430 01

• Improved Handling: The rod’s precise geometry reduces body roll during cornering, giving drivers confidence in high‑speed maneuvers.
• Enhanced Ride Comfort: By dampening suspension oscillations, the stabiliser contributes to a smoother ride over uneven road surfaces.
• Long-Term Durability: The alloy steel construction resists fatigue and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance for thousands of kilometres.
• Consistent Performance Across Models: OEM‑matched design guarantees that the stabiliser behaves exactly as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the rod and bushings annually for wear or damage, especially after driving on rough terrain.
• Clean the mounting surfaces with a degreaser before re‑installation to prevent corrosion.
• Avoid over‑torquing bolts; use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the specified sequence.
