1. Raise the vehicle off the ground. Removing the front wheels is not necessary but it may be helpful for you.
2. Once the vehicle is off the ground, remove the end-links from the end of the sway bar.
3. Remove the exhaust hanger from the rear of the downpipe, be sure to take the rubber mount all the way off.
4. Loosen and remove the bolt that holds the lower mount to the transmission.
6. Place a Jack underneath the cross-member and remove the 2 front nuts, 2 larger rear bolts and the 2 smaller rear bolts that hold the cross-member to the body.
7. Slowly lower the jack a few inches.
8. there are 2 nuts and 2 bolts that mount the sway bar to the cross-member, you will need to remove these before you unbolt the steering rack.
9. Once you have unbolted the sway bar, you can then begin loosening the 4 bolts that hold the steering rack to the cross-member.
10. Once the steering rack is unbolted from the cross-member, you can lower the cross-member a few more inches.
11. Lift the steering rack up with your hands and pull the sway bar out towards the rear of the vehicle. Be careful of the swaybar mounting brackets falling on your face.
12. Take the bushings that were included with the new sway bar and apply half of the included bushing grease to the inside of the bushing where the bar will make contact.
13. spread the bushings apart and place the bar into them. Be sure to push the bushing to the outside, making sure that the ring on the sway bar is on the outside edge of the bushings.
14. Insert the sway bar back under the steering rack and push it forward.
15. Raise the cross-member a little but so that you can bolt the steering rack back to the cross-member.
16. Once the steering rack is attached to the cross-member, you can place the sway bar mounting brackets over the new bushings. You will need to get the nut into place first and tighten that a little bit before you can get the rear bolt into place and then tighten the nuts and bolts down.
17. Raise the cross-member back up into place and re-install the cross-member nuts and bolts.
18. Insert the lower mount bolt back into the mount and tighten. You can then remove the floor jack.
19. Put the exhaust mount back onto the downpipe hangers.
20. Re-install the end-links into the forward most bolt holes on the sway bar. This will be the softest setting and is recommended to learn how the car feels.
21. Put the wheels back on if you removed them and lower the vehicle.
22. Find some twisty roads to enjoy the sway bar.
