looking thru this site there was nothing for ->
things to watch out for when installing rear sway bar.


oem vs suspension technique

o man do i need a disc conversion lol either that or sand/paint the drum.<p>




sway bar hits exhaust pipe -> must be removed.
U-Clips removed from bushings.


watch for the flange as it has one nut welded to it. the other is bolt/nut combo


used wd-40 for lubricant & just removed rubber-hanger support from rear of exhaust 1 of 3 rubber hangers.


2 small screws should take care of that


my pea shooter.


fuel tank straps were removed. fuel tank dropped about 1.5" - held up by jack & wood block.


watch for these as they might get caught but shouldn't be a threat.


tilt your head for this one. much more space after removing the muffler


POOF! no more oem sway bar! it was a sinch to remove.


voila! suspension technique sway bar in place ready for install.


be liberal with the grease


these bushings are huge compared to stock


had a weird time putting this bushing U-clip on because the bolt came too close to the hump





feels great to drive
gL on your install

i didnt remove any strut bolts, unhook the gas lines and somehow it fit thru. i also have an aftermarket exhaust so removing it wasnt an option. Also DONT use the allan screws they give you for the fronts, worst thing ever, the area is tight enough and then dealing with the allan wrench is retarded, use the old stock one and save yourself a good hour.
