1) The document provides removal and installation instructions for the front transverse link.
2) To remove the transverse link, the stabilizer link must be disconnected, ball joints removed from the housing and crossmember, and the link extracted.
3) Inspection of the removed link includes checking for wear, damage, cracks in the link and bushings. Defective parts should be replaced.
4) Reinstallation is the reverse of removal, ensuring correct installation of the front bushing and alignment of the rear bushing using aligning marks. Final tightening is done in a specified order and with designated torque specifications.
