Rear Sway Bar

Maybe someone can help me. I never worked on my car myself so i was wondering how hard it would be to take the rear swaybar off. I had a cattman one installed and now it squeeks whenever I go over bumps. I need to greese the bushings I guess so I need to take it off. Can someone help me please? Thanks.

Its not hard. What I would do is remove the two carrier bushings, lube them,and reinstall them. You may be able to do that without removing the endlinks. If not, remove the two endlinks too. Shouldnt take more than an hour total time.

Hahaha, really you need no guide. I'll be honest with you though - if the bolts of the rear endlinks are rusted, it will be hell to get them off. Just look under the car, right around the rear axel, you'll see the endlinks and the RSB. Common sense will help you get it off.

And if you need to only grease the bushings, you might not have to take it off.

awesome, hopefully they are not rusted on. That should be all I have to do is to grease the bushings...at least I hope that is all anyway. I will have to take a look at it. Thanks man.
