• Q: How to service and repair the front Sway Bar Kit on 2007 Toyota Sienna?

  A: Service and repair the front sway bar kit starts with wheel removal after unbolting both front sway bar links using 2 nuts; if the ball joint moves when underrun, clamp the shaft with a hex (6 mm) wrench. The same front sway bar link assembly RH removal process should be completed. Perform the next step by removing the front sway bar bracket No.1 LH through the removal of its 2 bolts followed by doing the same to the front sway bar bracket No.1 RH. To detach the tie rod assembly LH use Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 before repeating the procedure for the tie rod assembly RH. Workers must disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly with Special Service Tool: 09023-12701 to separate the steering intermediate shaft assembly before removing the rack & pinion power steering gear assembly. The next step involves taking out the front sway bar bush No.1 followed by the sway bar kit front. During front sway bar link assembly LH inspection you must feed the ball joint stud 5 times before attaching the nut then measure its turning torque with a torque wrench between 0.05 to 1.96 Nm (0.5 to 20 kgf-m, 0.4 to 17.4 inch lbs.). Begin installation with the front sway bar kit followed by front sway bar bush No.1 while placing the bushing on the outer side of the bushing stopper found on the sway bar kit. The steering intermediate shaft assembly installation should be completed with the rack & pinion power steering gear assembly along with connecting the pressure feed tube assembly by using Special Service Tool: 09023-12701. Fit the tie rod assembly LH followed by the tie rod assembly RH through precisely the same process. The front sway bar bracket No.1 LH gets two bolts installed while torque reaches 17 Nm (173 kgf-cm, 12 ft. lbs.) followed by applying the same procedure to the front sway bar bracket No.1 RH. Fasten the front sway bar link assembly LH using 2 nuts which should be torqued to 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55 ft. lbs.) either by using a hexagon (6 mm) wrench when the ball joint shows nut rotation or by standard methods before adding the front sway bar link assembly RH. The last step includes front wheel installation followed by torque settings at 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.) while inspecting the front wheel center point and steering wheel center alignment respectively. Power steering fluid addition is essential before bleeding before checking for leaks then following with an alignment adjustment.
