DIY: Sway bar installation (rear)

Thanks for the DIY write up.
Only thing I noticed on my 2011. I had to disconnect a few of the rubber exhaust brackets so the exhaust could be dropped down.

Was that with the stock exhaust? I don't remember having to do that as the pipes dropped quite a bit once disconnected from the muffler.

Yes stock exhaust. There were 2 of the rubber brackets about 24" forward from the exhaust bolts removed. I also disconnected a rubber bracket on the muffler to help maker disconnecting the exhaust easier.

Easy install, thanks for the great directions. It was a tight fit but unbolting the rubber exhaust hangers made it much, much easier.

I had to unbolt the hangers also.

Great DIY!

Thanks for the write up, you missed the pic with taking off the cross brace and i was puzzled for like 20 minutes lol. It was an easy install after i took the cross brace off, thanks for the write up.

Thanks for the write up. I know now that I should do this at the same time I'm installing my FI CBE when it gets here.

Great write up! I used this to remove my rear sway bar and it went well except for one of the bolts on my exhaust ended up being cross threaded

This actually went easier than I expected. There are two braces you will need to disconnect. The first is a U-shaped one with an opening to the rear. The second, is a V-shaped brace with an opening to the front.

I also just supported the exhaust with a jack and disconnected the last two sets of exhaust hangers, lower the jack a few inches and slide the bar out the side. Wheels removed of course. Much easier than trying to disconnect the exhaust after 8 years on the road and with the bolts installed backwards as to make it difficult to get a socket on it.
