How to service and repair the Sway Bar Kit on 2004 Toyota Sequoia?

Question

Accepted Answer

Service and repair of the sway bar kit begins by removing sway bar links using 2 nuts while detaining them from lower suspension arms; if ball joint movement is present through the nuts use a hexagon (6 mm) wrench to stabilize the stud. Proceed by disassembling the sway bar kit through its components of two bolts and two nuts then extracting the bar with its attached cushions and brackets before removing both brackets from the bar. The sway bar link installation requires holding each link to remove the connected nut before removing the link followed by 2 retainers and bushings from the bar that must be duplicated for the other side. After damagely inspecting the ball joint boot of sway bar links check ball joint rotation by turning the stud 5 times before torque fastening with a torque wrench applying even continuous 1-turn every 2 - 4 seconds which will produce a turning torque between 0.05 - 2.0 Nm (0.5 - 20 kgf-cm, 0.4 - 17 inch lbs.). Afterwards insert two bushings, retainers along with sway bar links to the bar and maintain the link while tightening new nuts to 19 Nm (190 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.). Perform the same procedure on the other side. Place the bushings on the sway bar kit with their cutout facing the rear before installing the bar and brackets with nuts and bolts that require a torque of 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft. lbs.). The last step involves torquing the sway bar links to the lower suspension arm with 69 Nm (700 kgf-cm, 51 ft. lbs.); when the ball joint turns with the nut, use a hexagon (6 mm) wrench to stabilize the nut in position.
