  A: For 2009 and earlier models, the removal process of the front sway bar kit involves loosening the wheel lug nuts, raising the vehicle, supporting it on jackstands, and removing the wheels. The intermediate shaft pinch bolt from the steering shaft is removed, followed by the stabilizer bar link nut and brackets. The rear part of the subframe is supported with a floor jack, and the two rear subframe mounting bolts are removed.
