Toyota 48818-20380 Bush, Stabilizer, Rear

Remove the Sway Bar Kit on a vehicle by raising the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands. Then, remove the link-to-Sway Bar Kit nuts and unbolt the brackets from the body. Next, support the fuel tank with a floor jack and block of wood, and remove the fuel tank band bolts to lower the fuel tank slightly. With the fuel tank lowered, the Sway Bar Kit can be removed by pulling off the U-brackets using a rocking motion. Before installation, check the bushings for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary. Additionally, clean the areas of the bar where the Sway Bar Bushing ride using a wire brush. Finally, installation is the reverse of the removal procedure, and if needed, a light coat of vegetable oil can be used to ease bushing and U-bracket installation, avoiding petroleum-based products or brake fluid which can damage the rubber.

Start by raising the front of the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels.
