sway bar install

[terrier126]

Been searching around a little and can't seem to find a "how to" for sway bar installation.
Is it just a simple as bolting up? or is there more involved? what parts would I need for the rear? or does a set for a v6 come with the necessary parts? Also can't seem to find pics of the rear bolted up. Thanks in advance.

The front is easy, unbolt the end links and brackets...replace.
The rea is more tricky as the whole cradle needs to be lowered to get the stock one out. Nothing terribly hard, just more invovled.

well i wouldn't have to take out the rear sway bar ;)
all I really want is to take out some body roll....think maybe i can just get a 4 point rear shock tower brace from razors edge?

That will take out the miniscule amount of play that may or may not exist in the unibody... but no, not really. Do sways. Like Eric said, it's not too bad, just more involved. Floor jack and jackstands, good 3/8 and 1/2 drive metric socket sets and a metric wrench set, and you're pretty much good to go.

And these cars need a larger rear bar a lot more than they need a larger front bar.

You will need some parts for the rear.
