bar stiffness harder or softer. The hole closets to the end is the softest setting, while the hole

Raising Car
Removal of the rear sway bar should be done at ride height, so the vehicle must be raised by
a flat alignment style rack, or place the rear of the vehicle on ramps and securely block the
front wheels.
