I didn't even jack the car up.
-I put the braces on the axle (swing arm thing) and left the rear of the swaybar hang. -I took the nut and bolt out of the strut. (there was a hole in the cup underneath the strut so you could push up on it with your thumb to get the bolt out) -I put the new nut and bolt along with the little S hook in place. (used that same hole in the cup to push up to get the bolt back in place) -attach the sway bar to S hook in position desired. I don't have pictures of the process but it shouldn't be that hard. |

^^ Yup. The rear is easy-peasy. I don't recall jacking mine up either.

Ok, I need another help here. I installed it and then after about a day I keep hearing this clacking noise coming from the rear. What is going on? I double checked everything I did everything that was supposed to be done and yet I hear the noise. Someone HELP!! :(

Most likely one of two things. The swaybar is hitting against your spring perch (area shown in rectangles) or the U-bolts and bracket is still a little loose. Must be tight so it doesn't slide across the beam - not that it would. Also check that the bolts are secure where the bushings are near your shocks. There shouldn't be any play.

Ok I will move it again and see what happens. I really like because I felt that the body role seemed to have disappeared.

This sucks but take it off and see if the noise goes away.
also, did you use the grease that came with it? the idea is it is supposed to slip in the yellow bushings. if grease wasn't used, it may be making noise because of that. |

Yea I use the grease, but not all of it. I removed it already and reinstall it and nothing. The noise is bearable but I am just worried that it caused damage to the car. :( I'm redoing it again tomorrow to see.

I mean take the bar off and drive it (without the bar) to see if it happens to be something else and having nothing to do with the bar. Weirder things have happened.
also, (and this probably isn't the case) it is bent in such a way to fit around the springs. if you had it upside down, it would cause issues. just make sure it is oriented right. |

Are the sway bars the same for 99-06 as the ones for the 07+ ?

I got it to work. I used a torque wrench to tighten everything and what do you know the damn thing worked. I don't hear the claking noise anymore. I really appreciate all of you for helping me.
