I need to replace the two rubber sway bar bushings on the front sway bar with poly bushings.

Can the wheels be on the ground when I remove the two clamps.

Or do I first have to unload the sway bar by removing one end link.

 

I have removed my swaybar with the vehicle on the ground and nothing else taken off, in 5min with my milwaukee impact and a 18mm (I think ) spanner

 

Park on level ground and unbolt the brackets that hold the bushing to the frame. No need to undo anything at the ends. Might have to jack slightly under one side of the vehicle if you have trouble getting everything bolted back up.

 

Yup. The sway bars (anti-roll bars, to be exact) are only under tension when one wheel is loaded more than the other. This can be caused either by sitting on uneven ground or cornering forces. You can bounce the front end up and down without putting any tension on the sway bar.

 

Changed them yesterday and it went as everyone described. Tnx.
