The procedures that are used to remove the sway bar kit entail the following where the crossmember of the suspension is lowered and the sway bar kit is taken from behind; normally where there is harm on the bar, it is due to severe influences accorded to it from accidents that may have affected other significant apparatus and thus called for professional repair. Start the procedure with the removal of the wheel lug nuts, lifting of the front part of the car and placing on stands together with an application of park brake and placing of the rear wheels on blocks. Wheels need to be removed first, then use an Allen wrench to hold the ballstud and knock the nut off to get the link off the lower control arm / strut. For the 1997 and the models prior to that, the links are secured to the lower control arms by a bolt; the 2002 models and the models that come after it, the links are mounted to the front struts. Third, it is necessary to take out the sway bar brackets and Sway Bar Bushing and check the bushings for cracks or tears; if the bushings are damaged, put a new one in their place. Next, clean the bushings and lubricate them with silicone lubricant or vegetable oil and then assemble the bushings on to the bar, brackets and bolts followed by tightening until the specified torque tightness is achieved. For the models of Sportage, it is necessary to remove the lower cross bar of sway bar kit of an engine/transaxle subframe, and besides it is needed to lower the mentioned member also. One has to take out the nuts on the sway bar link rods and the bolts uncovering the lower control arm ball joint and front exhaust pipe. With regards to the 4 wheel drive, the driveshaft needs to be detached from the vehicle and the oil of the transfer case needs to be drained. You also have to unbolt the rear flange assembly and depending on the model of Montero, the intermediate shaft has to be disengaged from the steering gear. Remove the power steering fluid, and unbolt the pressure line fittings; supporting the engine/transaxle assembly and subframe with hydraulic jacks. Bolt securing the engine to the subframe, and subframe to the vehicle frame should be undone and the subframe lowered slightly to allow removal of the LB sway bar assembly and examination of the condition of the clamp bushes. Installation involves the opposite of what is required in removal in regard to fasteners, where all has to be tightened. At long last, fix the wheel and lugs and then lower the vehicle and uniformly tighten lugs to their required torque.

Finally, tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque.
