Howdy all
Recently I purchased some suspension products for my lil ED, some of these included a pair of Whiteline swaybars thanks to my mate egsi
That deserves a bold hehehe
*DIY Wrench O' Metre*
The install is fairly straight forward, 2 1/2 Wrenches, almost a copy of the original setup. Hard part comes if your doing it by yourself, you will then need some strength and atleast 4 sets of arms, So Get Some Friends
Lets begin..
Firstly before jacking up the car undo the wheel nuts slightly. Now you can jack up your car, make sure to support your rear wheels as you can never be too safe.
*You will need to jack your car up a fair bit to give you room to work under the car, then support the car on jack stands.
With the car supported nice and safe on jack stands begin to undo your old crusty swaybar. Once all the bolts are undone enjoy the struggle of getting that baby out and take your wheels off for access.
Now simply put in your new Whiteline swaybar, it will assemble the same way as the old one, including the order of the bushes at the front LCA’s.
*Make sure you apply the provided grease to any parts of the bushes thatwill be in contact with metal.
Here's a diagram I prepared earlier, Remember the bolt thingie goes down the middle
!!!!!!*NOTE: AT THE BOTTOM DO NOT PUT THE WASHER AT THE LCA! PUT THE BUSH AGAINST THE LCA AND HAVE THE WASHER BETWEEN THE BUSH AND THE NUT*!!!!!!!
Put the wheels back on your car and lower it back to the ground. You will now need to tighten/check the setup around the LCA.
*Make sure when tightening that you do not cause the bushes to deform.
You’re good to go! Enjoy the new found cornering performance!!! W00t
Unfortunately I was busy holding everything up to take progress pics, even my knee was busy! but I do have some end shots... Enjoy!
