• Q: How to service and repair the rear Sway Bar Kit on 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: The first step to service or repair the rear sway bar kit requires wheel removal then application of 131 Nm torque (1,340 kgf-cm, 97 ft. lbs.). A supporting jack should be placed under the rear axle housing before uninstalling the 4 sway bar kit mounting bolts on each side with 18 Nm (185 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.) torque. The sway bar kit removal procedure requires uninstalling the 4 bolts followed by the bar and brackets that need to be torqued to 18 Nm (185 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.). Once the sway bar kit comes off, separate the 2 brackets and 2 bushings attached to it. The sway bar kit removal begins with removing the nut and its 3 retainers and 2 cushions before unscrewing the sway bar links from the bracket with a torque setting of 15 Nm (150 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Disassemble the opposite side by executing the same process until you extract the sway bar links and nuts and bolts along with a torque value of 26 Nm (270 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.). Then uninstall the 2 collars and cushions before continuing. The reverse procedure is used during sway bar link assembly.
