Instructions on reattaching rear sway bar. (archive)

To reattach you will need two 13mm wrenches or sockets. You should wait about thirty minutes after you shut off the motor to let your exhausts cool. Your hands and arms will be very close to the mufflers and exhaust pipes for this job.

I backed the car up a set of ramps to allow room to work and get at the end of the lose sway bar.

When the end of the sway bar comes lose it presses up tightly near the rear spring. I could not get the bushing over the end of the sway bar in this position. There is just not enough room to get the bushing back in place.

To re-attach the rear sway bar you have to remove the lower sway bar attachment on both sides. With both ends lose you can to rotate the bar downward enough to allow room to press the bushing over the end of the sway bar. With the bushing back in place, just rotate the bar back into position and reattach both ends of the lower ends of the sway bar attachment.

It took about ten minutes for this job.
