How to install sways?
Im sure theres a post but I cant seem to find it. Ive never installed sways before, what are the basics that I need to know/do? Thanks!
Sway bars for the G35 are a straight up install. You really don't even need instructions, unless you don't know what a sway bar looks like. There's two bushing mounts on each bar that are held up into place by two bolts. Then you have two nuts on each end of the bars attached to the bar end links. There's really no special tricks, or need to remove anything else (ie: exhaust) to get the sways on, besides removing the front lower engine bay cover to access the front sway bar. In most cases, you can get them on by simply rolling your car on ramps. Of the 4 sets that I have installed, 3 of which were fellow forum members cars, they each took on average about an hour and change to do with everyday hand tools. The results, after everyone drove off and tested them, responded back with praise.
You don't need 4 ramps. There's no way you can ramp up all four wheels on a G35 at the same time. All you need is two ramps. Do the front first, by driving your front end up, and when you're done - then do the rear by driving the rear end up in reverse. NEVER work under a car that is ONLY supported by a jack!!! If you do use a jack, make sure you use STANDS when its time to work under the car. Last but not least, when its time to do the rear BE SURE to place a wheel chuck or something (brick, small piece of 2x4, or similar object) in front of the front wheels so the car does not ROLL OFF while being jacked up from the rear.
