Raise the front of the vehicle and support it on jackstands, then unbolt the bar from the lower arm by removing the two mounting nuts and separating the strut bar from the lower arm. Next, remove the nut from the strut bar and detach it from the bracket, ensuring not to remove the inside staked nut. The backing nut at the bracket is staked in place; however, if a new bar is installed, check the distance between the staked nut and the center of the bolt hole, comparing it to the specifications and adjusting as necessary. If replacing the strut bar or moving the staked nut, ensure the distance is set correctly. Installation follows the reverse order of removal. Once completed, drive the vehicle to a dealer service department or alignment shop to have the alignment checked and adjusted if needed.
