Front Sway Bar

  1. Raise the vehicle using a jack and stands on a flat level area.

  2. Disconnect both of the lower end links by removing the nuts from each side, then push the links out of the way.




  3. Completely remove the downpipe exhaust hangers.




  4. Disconnect the lower engine mount from the subframe by removing the mounting bolts




  5. Support the engine subframe with a jack or similar device.  With the subframe supported remove the two front subframe bolts by running an extension through the access holes in the front lower control arms.  Then remove the three bolts holding the rear mounting plates and remove the mounts.




  6. Using a jack, lower the rear of the subframe until it hangs freely from the lower control arms and transmission mount.  Pay attention not to let the downpipe hangers interfere with each other on the way down.

  7. Remove the 2 anti-sway bar bushing bracket bolts on either side of the vehicle and remove the tbrackets from the vehicle.  At this point, the bar should no longer be connected to the vehicle.

        


  8. You should now be able to carefully remove the sway bar.  It will take some twisting and turning to get out.

  9. In order to install the new COBB front Anti-sway bar, repeat the steps in reverse order, making certain to thorougly grease up the inside of the front bushings to avoid any suspension noise, and using thread locking compound on all the bolts and nuts before torquing them down properly.






Rear Sway Bar

  1. Raise the vehicle using a jack and stands on a flat level area.
  2. Remove the 4 rear subframe brace bolts and set them aside.




  3. Disconnect the end links by removing the nuts from both sides and pushing them out of the way.




  4. Remove the four bracket bolts and then remove the brackets and sway bar.




  5. In order to install the new COBB front Anti-sway bar, repeat the steps in reverse order, making certain to thorougly grease up the inside of the front bushings to avoid any suspension noise, and using thread locking compound on all the bolts and nuts before torquing them down properly.  The inner holes will be the stiffer of the two positions.
