Hey folks,

I am planning to install the Mugen swaybar this weekend. Any pearls or helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

A Helm manual makes it much easier.

I didn't do mine Brad (soloiiracer)and Scott(w/King) installed it but I do recall the one item I was missing in the garage was some grease to lube up the bushings that the bar runs through that attach it to the frame. Not sure what kind, maybe someone can help with that one. Thanks!

You only need to remove the back undertray on the car to remove the bar. Don't remove the front piece.

I didn't need any grease. Wonder what they needed it for...

My bar was kind of tough to get in on the driver side, but with a little wrenching it went on.

Meat-

Little late I know......but i think Scott greased the inside of the bushings to allow the bar to rotate freely and not bind.

The grease is also used to prevent the squeaking associated with binding that happens over time in dry/dusty climates. I have to gease both my cars once a year.
