Question Supra TT Rear Sway Install DIY?

1st let me say that yes i have searched the web and this forum on how to do this install,

2nd, there was even a post just like this a couple of days ago with a link to a adobe install diagram i believe that was.

but the link didnt work and i still have found any info on the subject other that polls about who's using which sway bars and etc...

Im basically looking for some direction on how to install a rear Supra TT Tanaba sustec sway bar on my SC300. I got the front in with no problem, but in the rear there's been some issues.

I already have the supra tt bushings and subframe mounts, but where do the mount and whats up with the two little hooks on the subframe brackets( mounts) do i need to chop those of in order to fit them on? If thats the case i think i know where i need to install them on the subframe.


Please if there is someone that has done the install before, please lend some knowledge on the subject and many thanks in advance

I believe you may be mistaken by what the subframe monts are. I've circled the subframe mount in this picture for you. You can see how the sway bar mounts to it. This picture should be all you need

Mteele;

Did you have to remove your exhaust pipes and mufflers for the install?

Yes, I had to drop my exhaust. Only 8 bolts, not a big deal. You also have to unbolt your brake line from the car to be able to wiggle the subframe mount off.
