Hi all. Can anyone tell me how to remove the top engine stabiliser bush and fit the new one? Thank you
I should've said my engine stabiliser query is for a 99 3L V6 sedan

Hi and welcome aboard.
Maybe this will help you identify the part(s) required?
Trouble is a 99 V6 can be;
phase1/D8/slatted grille or phase2/D9/honeycomb grille?
V6 194 or 210 bhp?
manual or auto?
Not sure if the engine mounts are all the same, but it may help to know.

Probably means the top mount - 14 on the diagram. Piece of cake to change.
Stick a jack under the sump, lift it just enough to take the pressure. Remove the bracket - 10 on the diagram. Unscrew the top mount - will need a hammer and screwdriver to get it started, then screw the new mount in, put the bracket back (will need to man-handle the engine to get it aligned right), and you're done.
Might need to take the plastic engine cover off first... can't remember
