TRD Rear Sway Bar Install ??

So I've got a TRD rear sway bar coming next week. When I installed my Tanabe front strut brace I was instructed to raise the wheels off the ground when installing and adjusting the tension on my brace. Do I need to do anything like this when installing the rear strut brace or can I just drive the rear end up on my ramps and bolt it on?

Happy Holidays Everyone !! I hope everybody gets all the "mods" they asked Santa for !! Ho.. Ho.. Ho.. !!

You must jack up the car so the tension is off the shock bolts.( to pushing them back as the nut is off) Then fit the sway bar.

10 min. work (with two people 5 min.) and then you have a very great mod. Your car will be a lot better handling.

good luck

Jacking is not necessary. I put two on with the cars sitting naturally. Shock mount bolts slide easily even with the vehicle weight on them. If you a small enough to worm your way under the car without jacking or ramps, then you are good to go.

align?

Will I need a rear end alignment after I loosen those bolts and attach the sway bar?

Merry Christmas !!

No, an alignment is not required.
