Re: Remove and replace Front Sway bar
Hello ggagne.
Here is the procedure.
- Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
- Remove the left tire and wheel assembly.
- Remove the pinch bolt from the lower intermediate steering shaft
- Loosen all insulator clamp attaching bolts.
- Place a jack stand under the center of the rear frame cross member.
- Remove the rear frame-to-body bolts.
- Lower the rear of the frame just enough to gain access to the stabilizer shaft.
- Remove the insulator clamp bolts and the clamps from the frame.
- Remove the insulators from the stabilizer bar.
- Remove the stabilizer bar links from the control arms.
- Pull the stabilizer shaft rearward.
Installation
- Insert the stabilizer shaft to the left side of the vehicle. Important: DO NOT tighten the stabilizer link nut at this time. The weight of the vehicle must be supported by the control arms such that you can obtain the vehicle design trim heights before tightening the link nut.
- Loosely install the stabilizer shaft link at the control arm.
- Install the insulators on to the stabilizer bar.
- Connect the insulator clamps to the frame.
- Tighten the stabilizer shaft bracket bolts to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) .
- Raise the frame into position while you guide the steering shaft onto the gear.
- Install the new frame-to-body attaching bolts.
- Remove the jack stand.
- Install the pinch bolt and tighten.
- Install the left tire and wheel assembly.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Support the weight of the vehicle by the control arms.
- Tighten the stabilizer link nut.
- Tighten the stabilizer shaft link nut to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.)
There you are, I hope your job goes well.
