HERE IT IS! (SORRY 56K users)
Tools you will need
-Allen Key's 5mm (have two sets) you may need it
-Car jack
-(2) jack stand
- 5 inch pipe
- 8/16 inch rench
- socket rench with 12mm & 14mm socket
- socket extention
- 1 can of WD40
- and light! at least 3 hours of it
- 3 pair of laytex gloves (they rip)
- of couse the CL-S sway bar bushing & brakets

Which bar is which? you cant tell the difference huh...
The brakets are Bigger when you compair the two. you will see when you do it.






Some tools you'll need


Remove these nuts first
driver side eazy

LOOK what happen twissted the allen key need a new one


Bushing and brakets next

This is where the PIPE comes into play helps a hella whole lot




Just reverse the process to put the NEW bar on

removal of your stock swaybar will be easier if your car is resting on the suspension... try using ramps, or backing up onto a curb to give yourself some working room. when your suspension is fully extended (like when it's on jackstands) it's putting LOTS of stress on those end links.

or if you have to use jackstands, use your stock scissor jack to re-compress that suspension by jacking up the wheel(s).

the end links were easy they are able to move in 360* motion. I jacked up my car to get more room to work with. My jack would not go any higher with the two jack stands on the back.

I can take 45mph right turns with no problems. It feels great stiffer, to me it seems i am riding Higher i dont know its all in my head i guess i went to check on my alliment and everything is perfect. I love it best $45.00 i spent. I also replace my stock tires with wider ones 195\65\15 is stock i now ride on 205\65\15 it does make a big difference also. But I think this is a great mod forget the front strut bar get the rear front doesnt do jack... i got one

is the CL S rear sway bar supposed to be better than aftermarket ones such as neuspeed? will this thing fit on a 6th gen sedan?
