    Hello everyone, I am trying to find a video or a write up on how to install the stock sway bar. My brother took it off and does not remember where he took it from. Any help would be great

    Thank you

    Looks like you/your brother was trying to install red Energy Suspensions bushings.
    1. Remove the extraneous black bushing from the sway bar. Make sure the insides of both red bushings are well greased. Put the red bushings on the bar.
    2. Support the front of the truck with jack stands so you can remove the front wheels.
    3. Remove the two U-channel braces (7 bolts)

    4. Follow this guide in the service manual: http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old...f/06toyrm/06toypdf/06rmsrc/rm2006ta/03901.pdf If the stud on the sway bar endlinks keep turning when you try to tighten the nut, hold the stud with a 6mm Allen key.
    5. Reinstall the U-channel braces (7 bolts).
    6. Reinstall front wheels.
