Sway bar install
Hey guys got a 30 mm sway bar and am going to install it. It's pretty simple, but with the front suspension does it need to be unloaded. When I did the rears on my old camaro you just got under the car and bolted it in......

Re: Sway bar install (Jeffvette)
It doesn't matter if the suspension is loaded or unloaded when you install it...just make sure the bar isn't too twisted when you undo the endlinks (or something may go flying). I would remove the frame brackets first to help relieve the forces on the bar.
When you do the final tightening of the endlinks to the torque spec, the suspension does need to be loaded though.
