Front swaybar disconnect
#11
Don't forget to trim the lower air dam to allow the sway bar with swing up out of the way and make some kind of retainer to keep it from dropping during off-road adventures. I'm still working on mine.
The clip keeps the wing nut from loosening and the wing nut helps retain the clip. Takes about 2 minutes to remove and about 3-4 to put back on. Works good.
Glue the bushings to the washers....

The factory bolts are known for being frozen on. I had one set of three come apart as they should. the others I ended up using the sawzall to get apart.

yea you have to take off the skid plate to take the whole thing out. my bushings were shot too but I wanted to see what it was like without it and I don't mind it being off so I just left it off. that is one less thing I have to worry about breaking. so its completely removed. thing was kind of heavy did some weight reduction too haha

there are 6 bolts. 4 up front and 2 in the back. they are 16 mm bolts. the plastic skid plate should come off. then you need a 10 mm socket for the bushings under the skid plate and also a box end wrench or another socket wrench to removed the 4 bolts holding each bushing. once you get them off there should be a slit on each bushing you can pull them off and put the new ones on
