To remove the Sway Bar Kit, begin by raising the front of the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Make sure to apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels. Detach the Sway Bar Kit links from the control arms by unbolting them, using a 5 mm hex wrench if necessary. Remove the Sway Bar Kit brackets from the vehicle floor pan. Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold. Once these steps are completed, the Sway Bar Kit can be removed. While the bar is off the vehicle, inspect the bracket bushings and replace them if cracked, worn, or deteriorated. Clean the bushing area of the Sway Bar Kit using a stiff wire brush to remove any rust or dirt. For installation, lubricate the inside and outside of the new Sway Bar Bushing with vegetable oil (not petroleum or mineral-based lubricants or brake fluid). Finally, reassemble the Sway Bar Kit by following the reverse order of removal.

To take off the sway bar, the first thing one has to do is engage the parking brake and support the vehicle on jackstands. Next, remove the sway bar end links, paying attention to the position of the upper and lower retainers and grommets in case of FJ60 and FJ62. If so required, it is possible to release the links from the axle brackets. Next, loosen and take out the retaining bolts that connect the sway bar to the frame through the bushing clamps; examine the rubber bushings themselves and change them if they are hard, cracked or distorted. Once the bar has been disconnected, remove the Sway Bar Bushing and inspect for cracks or wear and tear and should serve to be replaced with the new ones and even the ones on the lower ends of the linkages. For installation, place the new bushings on the bar and then push the brackets over the bushings, then raise the bar to the frame, install the bracket bolts but do not overtighten. Last but not least, tighten the sway bar end links in the reversed manner of that which has been followed while removing them to the prescribed torque and the bracket bolts should also follow the same torque.

Clean the areas of the bar where the bushings ride using a wire brush.
