Hotchkis website has the instructions available to download..
It can be done with hand tools, but it will take you longer. And you do not have to support the tranny/engine when un bolting the front crossmember.

yo tcTaco your the man lol thanks i checked the website b4 and i couldn't find that in it and then when i looked at it i was like "wow i'm a dumba$$" but anyways thanks

 

No prb...but make sure you put everything back the way you took it off.

 

so wait the motor doesn't really drop as low as everyone says it does?, i'm thinking of marking everything b4 i move anything to make sure everything goes back in right...

 

NO, the motor dosent move unless you start to severly yank on it.
Take your time and lower the cradle as strait as you can...and when you are ready to reinstall the cradle, place the jack in the center of the cradle(assuming your car is supported on jack stands) and slowly begin to raise the cradle watching to make sure all the bolts line up. Once you see a the bolts line up, put a few of the nuts on and remove the jack and make sure everything is still lining up. You dont want to use the jack to fully raise the cradle cause you can lift the car off the jack stands.

 

aight sounds good thanks

 

well if you decide to sell the front, please pm me

 

sell wat front?

 

ya.

 

what????

 

are you referring to me? TCprincess?

 

yes, sorry for the confussion. lol.

 

you might as well buy it at nopionline.com its i think 96 shipped thats how much i paid! cause i i sell you mines i will be losing 50 bucks cause shipping is 38 bucks i think it was when i shipped my trd one i forgot. go there you can get the st bar for cheap there

 

thanks for the heads up. i just went there buy they charge 145 for the front only.
i've been searching but cant find the answer to one question: why do most companies only do the rear sway bar? is there not much to gain from doing the front?

 

You dont have to drop the subframe all the way...

If your not experienced in doing suspension work lelt a shop do it. Best to let a shop do it that can align it when done.

 

i forked out the cash to have my front ST installed was worth it. either have it done right or do it yourself and mess up your car since you have to drop the front sub assembly and all.

 

can i use a lift that lifts the car by the wheels? i have access to that kinda lift at work, but idk if the wheels have to be off the ground for this. also do the rear wheels have to be off the grount too? i hope not cus i think it will be a hell of a lot easier to do the install on the lift.

thanks:D

 

no will be easier to have the frame lifted and not by the wheels. you will need to take the wheels off to access the sway bars anyway. if you have never dropped a front sub assembly before get a shop to do it.

 

so its not possible to do with the lift i have access too?

what if we lift the car up then jack it up? (using jack stands of course, we have a wide lift)
