28521, Front swaybar removal
Posted by T_K, Jan-15-06 02:15 PM
I'm trying not to unbolt stuff but it seems I can't take the swaybar out without removing most subframe stuff that's in the way.... any tips that can help? The car is raised on jackstands, I'm doing it at home.

When I did it I didn't unbolt anything. I ended up cutting one end of the stock sway bar so it was strait on the end and pulled it strait out. Getting the new one in wasn't too hard. Just a matter of finding the right angle to get it to slide into place.

well I followed the instructions and unbolted both "stays" and one of the compression control arms and it was easy to take the bar out and get the new one in this way.
