The removal process involves loosening the front wheel lug nuts, raising the front of the vehicle, supporting it on jackstands, and removing the wheels.

The installation process involves lubricating the bushings, replacing suspension fasteners, and tightening them to the specified torque. Finally, tighten the wheel lug nuts to the torque specifications.

To remove the sway bar kit, start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts and blocking the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Then, raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands before removing the rear wheels. Next, remove the rear section of the exhaust system and the parking brake cables from the trailing arms. Remove the coil springs and the brake calipers without disconnecting the brake hoses. Mark the position of the subframe to the chassis and support the subframe with two floor jacks. Remove the subframe mounting bolts and lower the subframe slightly to access the sway bar kit bracket bolts. Detach the sway bar links from the bar and remove the sway bar kit, inspecting the sway bar bushings for any signs of damage. If the sway bar bushings are damaged, they should be replaced. To install the sway bar kit, lubricate the sway bar bushings with vegetable oil and replace all suspension fasteners with new ones, tightening them to the proper torque specifications. Finally, tighten the brake fasteners and the wheel lug nuts to the correct torque specifications.

To detach the stabilizer bar link from the strut or the bar, hold the ball stud with an Allen wrench while turning the wrench to loosen and remove the nut.
