I know it is recommended to take the wheels off the car when installing the RSB.

Problem is, I don't have jack stands. (I have two jacks though ).

I have two ramps, that the car can drive on and the rear will get lifted for me to work under the car.
Can I install the RSB without removing the wheels??
Or maybe I can use the two jacks that I have?

Thanks for input.

If you can tighten the nuts while having your wheels on then there should be no problems (except making this job longer because you'll have to get through a small area).

I suggest using the 2 jacks, one on each side, so you can remove both your wheels.

 

I have a stillen RSB, and I don't remmember if there was a step for lifting the car up. Because I did it myself and it seems to be working fine... is there something that I should bea aware of, that I am missing?.........

at a later time.. Ohhhh.... never mind ... I thought you guys were talking about a Rear Strut Bar... not the Rear Sway Bar..... Peace

They're cheap. When I go to put an RSB on my car I'm gonna buy some stands and a floor jack. They're handy to have so why not invest?

as long as both sides are on load, there's no need to take the wheels off. the problem arises if one side is jacked up while the other is still on load (you'd have a heck of a time getting the bar off!)

place the wheels/tires on the ramp and you should be fine, but you should invest in jack stands.. well worth the money.

 

It's a lot easier to take the wheels off. You could do it with the wheels on, but it might take you longer overall. I finally got my pictures back and scanned them in today. I'll do a "how to" tomorrow.

Hey Paul, I noticed from your pictures that the end arms of the RSB have I think 5 holes on each arm.

I looked at other Stillen RSB of people wiht 4gen Maxes and they have only 4 holes on each arm and I think the best setup is to use the inner most two holes.

What holes did you use when you put everything on??

What is the reason for one extra hole on those arms?? More adjustment I would think??

Thanks for the pics.

Daniel.

 

If I can recall... it says holes 3 and 5. Not 100% sure on that.

 

ya, that's that i had on my setting.
