Nut_N_Much

Well, I tackled the rear yesterday, it was a pain using jack stands.. My buddy was off so the shop was closed, no lift!!!! I used this DIY to do the rear, it didn't take to long, used air tools and took the some stuff apart to get the sway bars out and in. I didn't take pictures sorry, it was dark out and raining like hell...

1. 12mm socket to remove the rear frame brace.
2. I had to disconnect the back end exhaust to get clearance to pull the sway out.
3. Once that was all removed, I used 14mm socket and end wrench to remove the mounting bolts, and end links. Easy day, put it all together in reverse order.
4. I used the middle hole for a medium setting on the rear. Will adjust from there if needed.

So,
Here is the front. Pictures say a thousand words:


Settings Chart from Whiteline:







Okay ready to do this.. Unbolt mounting points (14mm), then end links (19mm wrench, 17mm Socket.
Use a 19mm end wrench to secure the back side of the sway bar end link before hitting it with a 17mm socket and impact gun.

Disclaimer : Make sure your impact gun is set to rotate in the right direction. 550 to 650 ponds of pressure will strip out the end link..

Might have to use a swivel to get driver side off. Clearance is limited for a bulky impact gun. But dam it makes the job go quick..





Pull the old sway bar out and bolt up the new in the same order you removed the old one. You are reusing the mounting bolts unless your kit came with all the hard wear. If you ask what the torque specs are I'll tell you " Really Tight By Hand".

Disclaimer: Turn down you air settings on the impact gun when mounting your bolts. You don't want to snap the treads off.



Now just button up the plastic and take it for a spin...
