How hard is it to install a rear swaybar?
Installing a replacement rear swaybar is a rather simple procedure. The use of a jack to prop up the back is recommended, but not required. Installation is fairly straight forward, but there are a few things that may give the average person some trouble. The biggest difficulty installing a replacement rear swaybar is removing the old one. The endlink bolts may be extremely difficult to remove due to rust. If removing them proves to be a problem, you can try spraying them with WD-40. Locking vice clamps and wrenches may prove to be useful. Do not attempt to heat the bolt — the endlinks have a flexible joint with material that may melt when heated. If all else fails, you may have to cut the bolts off and replace them. You may have clearance problems with the ST swaybar and HKS exhaust. The ST swaybar is adjustable. The “soft” setting is comparable to the stock swaybar. The “firm” and “stiff” settings tighten the back more than the stock settings.
