On my fairly new 370 (less than a year old with 9K miles on it), not a daily driver and only driven in fair to good weather, all nuts and bolts are not corroded and still in good clean shape. Install time, about a couple of hours with ramps and another guy helping. On a 40th Anniversary driven in Florida exposed to beach sand and sea salt, corrosion and binding nuts were a huge problem. Total install time about 3 hours+ with Ramps and another guy helping + pneumatic tools.

The Rear Sway bar is the most complex installation. We dropped the muffler drum out of the way and removed the A-arm support as well, and we were able to sneak the old sway out and sneak the new sway in fairly easy. Again, all sway bar nuts and bolts are VERY HARD to break loose, so make sure you have at least an 18" cheater bar wrench. We also used a pneumatic wrench and a battery powered handheld nut driver - makes life so much easier running those nuts and bolts in and out.

Couple of pieces of advise for you - before removing the old rear sway bar, note exactly how it is connected and laid out... it's a little confusing putting the new one on - AND, spray all nuts and bolts threads with WD40 once you take them off. Makes running them back in so much easier also!

Good luck with the installation. We installed EIBACHs by the way and they are worth it!
