[DMCForum] Re: Another spring question

["Toby Peterson" <tmpintnl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Josh - I noticed that you mentioned that you pried the sway bar out 
with a ball joint separator.  Are you doing all of this front end work 
with the sway bar installed?  That would be the first thing to come 
out, in my opinion.  You take the nuts off the ends where it goes 
through the lower control arms, and then remove the two brackets that 
attach the bar to the front frame extensions.  The sway bar then pulls 
straight out towards the front of the car.  This gets the bar out of 
the way, allows more freedom for the lower control arms, and allows 
you to see just how bad the sway bar bushings through the lower 
control arms are.  As Greg asked ... could you post some pictures of 
the situation so that we can understand the problem?
