QUESTION: I would still like to know the steps in removing and replacing the center link on my 97 Isuzu Rodeo and I've replaced the wheel bearings but cannot drive faster than 45mph without the front end shaking out of control and the steering wheel almost coming out of my hands.
AnswerWell CLifford I would start with the stabilizer arm first. raise the vehicle and use jackstands. Also set the parking brake and chalk-blocks to keep it from rolling. Remove the stabilizer bar-to-link nut.(note the spacers/washers and bushings where they were and mark them for easy installation afterwards. Remove the stabilizer bar bracket nuts and detach the bar from the vehicle. Also inspect the bushings on the brackets and installation is the exact opposite of removal. Remember to torque the bolts as well.
As for the center link you will have to use a puller and remove the tire-rod ends from the center-link as well as the brackets and bushings. There will be some cotter pins, a jam nut/s,and a castle nut and the use of a small puller will be needed. It will be a pain to get to and will take some time. I hope this was helpful but if it wasn't let me know and ill do whatever it takes for you to get it done right okay?
