    Default what is the correct way to remove/install AE86 front anti-roll/sway bar

    Whichever term you prefer...

    I gave chad a hand removing the front swaybar from his car before i bought it, we got it out by:

    removing the bar-control arm links

    unbolting the caster/radius rod brackets from the chassis

    undoing the adjusting nuts of the caster/radius rods

    manhandling, yanking, twisting and swearing and yelling at the swaybar until it came out.


    what is the right way to do this? i'd ratehr leave my caster adjustment alone for now, dont mind unbolting more stuff if it will make it easier.

    i'm thinking the way to go would be to unbolt the radius rods from the lower control arm, unbolt the radius rod brackets, then drop the whole thing, swap bars over then bolt back in.

    sound good?

    Like this perhaps?



    But i'm sure you've already read that... having taken out a few control arms/front suspension bits at pickies for measurement purpoeses, i've found that nothing beats a big hammer when trying to manipulate the damn things out.
