• Q: How to remove the front Sway Bar Kit on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: Starting the front sway bar kit removal process requires complete removal of the hood sub-assembly followed by taking off both the front wiper arm head cap and the wiper arm and blade assembly from left and right sides. Move on to take away the hood to cowl top seal after removing both the cowl top ventilator louver on the left and right sides and the front wiper motor and link. Begin the procedure by taking off the right air shutter seal for the front then remodel the outer cowl top panel after setting the wheels to face directly forward. Begin the procedure by taking out the column hole cover silencer sheet followed by the steering sliding yoke sub-assembly then the No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly. Remove tie rod end sub-assemblies of the left and right sides and then remove front lower suspension arm sub-assemblies of both sides. To access the front sway bar link assembly on the left you need to use socket hexagon wrench 6 until the ball joint turns with the nut after removing 2 nuts and the sway bar link. The right side handles the same method of removal as the left side. Before continuing suspend the engine assembly while you remove the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly together with the power steering gear. You must detach the sway bar bracket from each front side by uninstalling its two bolts and bracket. As the last step remove both the front sway bar kit together with the front sway bar kit No. 1 bush.
