On certain vehicles, the torque of the nuts for the stabilizer link may not be sufficient, due to improper instruction for installing the stabilizer link. If this problem is left unattended, the nut may fall off and the stabilizer link may interfere with the brake hose, which could in the worst cause a puncture in the hose. If this occurs, brake fluid would leak, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
