Hotchkis 22436R MazdaSpeed3 Sport Sway Bar, Rear - Manual (Page 4)

7F
Remove the Front Sway Bar
It’s a tight fit between the subframe and the body, so it will take some patience removing the
sway bar. To ease removal, take off the bushings from the bar. It also helps raising the front
of the vehicle slightly to gain more clearance. You will notice the steering column seal on the
firewall will pop out of position. This is normal and is also an indication that you should be
able to get more movement out of the cradle to pull the bar out. Try to remember how the
bar comes out, for this will be the same procedure getting the new Hotchkis bar in.
