• Q: How to install the front Sway Bar Kit and related components on 2010 Scion xD?

  A: You must start with the sway bar bush installation onto the sway bar kit by positioning the bush stopper toward the vehicle exterior while keeping the cutout aimed at the front direction. Install the sway bar kit onto the crossmember with attention to the paint mark that marks the left-side of the vehicle. Start by loosely tightening bolt A for the front sway bar kit No. 1 bracket LH then proceed to torque bolts in the sequence of B followed by A to 47 Nm (479 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf). Proceed to install the same sequence of steps for the right-hand front sway bar kit No. 1 bracket. After power steering gear installation, you should add the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly. You should install both nuts for the LH front sway bar link assembly while torquing them to 74 Nm (755 kgf-cm, 55 ft-lbf). Additionally you must hold the stud with a socket hexagon wrench 6 to stop the ball joint from turning with the nut. The installation method for the front sway bar link assembly RH matches the procedure for the left-hand side. Install both front lower suspension arm sub-assembly LH and RH together with tie rod end sub-assembly LH and RH following identical procedures. The installation sequence includes putting in the steering column No. 1 hole cover sub-assembly, steering sliding yoke sub-assembly, and column hole cover silencer sheet. You should mount the front wheel before performing a torque of 103 Nm (1050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) while maintaining both wheels in a straight ahead direction. The installation will be finalized by attaching the outer cowl top panel as well as front air shutter seal RH, front wiper motor and link, cowl top ventilator louver LH and RH and front hood to cowl top seal and front wiper arm and blade assembly LH and RH and front wiper arm head cap. The procedure concludes by checking and readjusting hood sub-assembly together with front wheel alignment.
