How to service and repair the front Sway Bar Kit on 2006 Toyota Tundra?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step for sway bar kit front servicing and repair involves removing two nuts from sway bar links attached to lower suspension arms where the ball joint may rotate with the nut requiring hexagon wrench (6 mm) for stud retention. Remove the sway bar kit first by removing its 2 bolts and nuts together with bar sway bar kits and brackets before detaching the brackets and sway bar kits from the bar. Proceed by grasping the link to unscrew the sway bar link nut before taking away the sway bar link and its accompanying retainers and bushings from the sway bar kit on both sides. The installation of the sway bar link ball joint boot requires checking for damage followed by testing the ball joint rotation by moving the stud back and forth 5 times before applying the nut. A torque wrench should be used to achieve a turning torque between 0.05 - 2.0 Nm (0.5 - 20 kgf-cm, 0.4 - 17 inch lbs.) through continuous 1-turn rotations at a rate of 2 - 4 seconds. Begin installation by connecting the 2 bushings and retainers and sway bar link with the sway bar kit and apply nut torque to 19 Nm (190 kgf-cm, 14 ft. lbs.) before moving onto the other side. The sway bar bracket ships should have their cutouts positioned toward the rear end before installing the bushings onto the bar. Utilize 37 Nm (375 kgf-cm, 27 ft. lbs.) torque when securing the sway bar kit and its two brackets with nuts and bolts. The sway bar links require installation onto the lower suspension arm while applying a torque force of 69 Nm (700 kgf-cm). When the ball joint rotates with the nut, secure it using a hexagon (6 mm) wrench.
