DIY: T1R Sway-Bar

As usual, AJR, Fitfreak.net nor I (Fit of RAGE!) is responsible for ANY damages, problems to your vehicle. Please be EXTREMELY cautious and
perform this mod at your own discretion.

I kinda got carried away and ended up in "the Zone" when i was doing this so it's kinda a crappy DIY Anyway,


1) Purchase sway bar




2) Personally, i felt that taking the cat out is VERY useful, so remove cat



3) disconnect the sway bar from the link kits. You'll need an Allen head AND a 12mm wrench.





The reason you need to do this is that if you just use a 12mm, the link kit will most likely spin and you'll never get the bolt off.

4) support the vehicle front AND back as you'll need to drop the engine/tranny cradle a little








5) Unbolt the lower control arm. There are 3 bolts. two shown here and one in front.

6)


7) Now, unbolt the cradle from the car. there are 4 bolts in total. (two were from the control arm)




8) Unbolt the hold down bracket for the swaybar and lower the engine/tranny cradle just enough to get the swaybar out


9) Now, reverse the order. Make sure that you lube up the bushings REALLY well!!!

I did my Blox 24mm front sway bar today. Thanks for this DIY FoR awesome. The only thing I did different I left the Cat on when removing the bar back it all the way till it touches the Cat then pull the front ends of the sway bar down and remove backwards . Installation was the same start with sway bar backwards lift above the front of the cat and swing sway bar foreword. Thanks again for this DIY
