Sway Bar installation -- NEED HELP PLS

[Jon11582]

heh... i just won $500 at Foxwoods last night and was gonna buy a sway today....now I'm a lil nervous! Anyone else feel this worthy of a DIY?

Definetly a DIY. RSB is a bit harder than an Intake, but not so much. I assume you did your own Injen so you can def do your own RSB.

If your not lowered, you can leave the solara on the ground. That rear end sticks up pretty high.

I believe the Gen1 TRD RSB has settings equal to 18mm or 20mm, depending on which hole you use. Hole further in is 20mm equivalent.
Whiteline RSB is a 19mm bar.

Make sure you have that hex wrench to fit into the end links, and also make sure you have some automotive grease an grease the hell out of the bushings, inside and on the outside of the bushing. Also, grease down the RSB where it will attach to the bushings, wrap some teflon tape around it, and then grease on top of that, and then put the bushings on.

Squeakings a huge issue for these RSB if you dont grease enough, so better to do it right the first time, than needing to get back under there undoing everything, and doing it all over.

I suggest starting with the outer hole. Itll stiffin up the suspension a little but in turning, but not all that much. Id run it there for a week or so to get eased in, and then get back under and just move it to the inner hole, where youll see alot of difference, (Changing the setting is a 5 minute job if your not lowered). If I was dropped and had to jack my car up though, Id probably just start on the inner hole to avoid having to jack it up again.

RSB is great BTW. It helps your corner alot better, and doesnt have any negative side like getting lowered does (potholes, speedbumps, driveways, etc). Coupled with good tires, you can take corners very well.

I just want to add this out there. When I checked my Solara for periodical service, I told the rep that my RSB bushings are squeeking. They regreased it for me for FREE. Yep, that's right it's FREE. Quit spending hundreds of $$$ just to get it removed and installed again.

i strongly suggest you get the re-greasable bushings for it. it'll be worth it later on.

IMO.....it's a a definate DIY. For the squeeking problem ..... I use a lube called " Magic Lube" You can get it from any place that supplies swimming pool parts. ( And seriously it's called Magic Lube!) Hit me up if any local peeps need it
