How to detect a fault of the stabilizer

There are two methods of inspecting stabilizers:

1. Turn the wheel to one side to the full, then try to move the stabilizer link. In case of even the slightest free play, replacement is required, since the gaps significantly increase when driving.
2. This method will require an inspection pit. Disconnect the stabilizer link, without disconnecting it completely, and turn it from side to side. If the component rotates freely, it is worn out. To diagnose the state of the second link, the car should be shaken vertically. In case of extraneous noise, the component is worn.
