TRD RSB Help

So I was installing it today. But because the bushing is bigger, I can't get a bolt from each bracket back on. I can get the side with the hook easily but impossible to put the bolt closer to the tail end back on. How'd you guys do it?

Did you grease up the bushings?

Did you grease up the bushings?

yeah.. my problem is that i cant bolt the brackets back on

[ThatVietGuy]

I used a jack with a block of wood to help press up on the bracket so that it would lie flush

What i did was slighlty bolt up the front and rear bolts on the bushin' bracket, don't tighten all the way just enough to hold it in place.
Don't bolt down the tie rod that bolts to the shock yet do that last.
Once you have all four bushin' brackets in then tighten the front bolts on each side, then the read botls on each side.
Then when you have the four bushin' bolts in tight then you can bolt the tie rod thingy on the the shock.
Remember to have the whole rear end up so no weight is on the rear sway bay assembly.
Jack up both sides in the rear.
Hope this helps, PM me or IM me if you still need help.

sup Rich,

in accordance to one bracket at a time, go ahead and bolt in one of the bolts. Probably the upper bolt first, but dont bolt it in all the way. Get a 2nd person to help you hold a large (and i mean large!) flathead pushing the bottom part of the bracket inward and against the hole so it gives room to put in the bolt and bolt down. then of course bolt down the upper bolt again that was left loose

This definately is easier if the car was on a lift, but is managable with jacks. Hope this helps
