    easy just have a jack on hand to push up the strut when inserting or removing the old bar, and if your replacing the bar cut it with a hack saw, saves a shit load of time

    Take note of which way the cup washers go, a lot of people put them back on the wrong way around.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    sounds good, ive been reading how to do it in the gregorys manual but its a lil confuzing and im not sure its even the right thing, they call it a stabaliser bar/arms, im i reading the right thing? as per usuial im a perfectionist and i wanna make sure i get it all right before i even attempt it. im not replacing the whle sway bar, just the link arms, with some nolathane ones

    not hard. you just need two spanners to undo and redo the nuts. you will see 2 flat parts in each link pin. use a spanner on that to hold them in place
