The process to remove a rear sway bar kit starts with inspecting the pipe for gaskets before removal and following it up with replacement of rusted bolts and nuts. The first step starts with removing the wheels from the rear part of the vehicle. During the modification process of the 2AZ-FE engine you need to detach the center exhaust pipe assembly while both the tail exhaust pipe assembly and center exhaust pipe assembly must be removed from the 2GR-FE engine. The rear sway bar link assembly removal on the left-hand side starts by unthreading the pair of nuts; when the ball joint spins with the nut then use a 5 mm hexagon wrench to lock the stud. The same procedure should be repeated for the right-hand side rear sway bar link assembly. First detach the rear sway bar kit No. 2 bracket through removal of its two bolts before continuing with the removal of the rear sway bar kit No. 1 bracket according to the same method. To finish disassembly part from the bar remove the rear sway bar bushings which are located on the rear sway bar kit followed by the sway bar kit itself.

Secure the rear stabilizer link assembly in a vise with aluminum plates, install the nut on the stud, and use a torque wrench to measure the turning torque, which should be between 0.05 to 0.98 N*m (0.5 to 10 kgf*cm, 0.4 to 8.7 in.*lbf).

Remove the No. 1 rear stabilizer bar bracket, which also requires the removal of 2 bolts.

Reinstall the front wheel, torquing to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.).

Install the front stabilizer link assembly LH and RH, each secured with 2 nuts and torqued to 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55 ft-lbf); if the ball joint turns with the nut, use a hexagon (6 mm) wrench to hold the stud.
