Toyota 48805-48110 Bar, Stabilizer, Rear

Lose the rear wheel lug nuts, then chock the rear wheels, lift the rear of the car and snug it on jack stands before removing the rear wheels. Next, remove the heat insulator from the exhaust system and the lower nut of the sway bar links from the bar; if the ballstud rotates with the nut, tighten an Allen wrench to the stud. For 2014 and later models, when replacing the sway link, remove the link bracket to control arm bracket nut, then unbolt the bracket and link as a single unit, then remove the link nut to sever it from the bracket. Remove the sway bar bushing retainers and if necessary the two retainer brackets from the body. Due to improved access, the sway bar can now be removed while the bushings must be unbolted with their positions marked. Check if the bushings are worn, hard, twisted, cracked, or otherwise damaged and replace them if they are; The split of the bushing should face up, when they are installed. Scrub the surface parts of the bar that the bushing roll on with a wire brush and for the new bushing apply vegetable oil to both the inner and outer sides of the new bushing and do not use brake fluids or any petroleum or mineral based lubricants. Last of all, installation is done in a backward manner to the process of removal.
