Default Question on basic rear lower sway bar installation...

Just a quick easy question I come to the Gods of the Honda Prelude for. How do I install my rear lower sway bar? A link to any helpful instructions would be most appreciated. Read the faq to no avail. Kinda lazy. Figured someone would know off the top of their head a direction to point me, a direct direction, not to a search engine. lol. Thanks for your time and wisdom.


For further info, it's an ebay bought Megan Racing Sway bar. Cheap but will do the job for now. Thanks again for any info you might be able to provide.

Well, you are a bit lazy.

It's not hard. Stick your hed under the car and you'll see. There's a bracket and set of bolts on each side, just unbolt the old one, drop it out, and finaggle the new one in.

Lazy I am. But that's neither here nor there. What is here is the fact that I am also an imbecile. After looking at the page I was directed to I noticed that I had mistakenly called my Rear Lower Tie Bar, by the wrong name. I said rear lower sway bar, I was wrong. Its a a lower tie bar. Now with that being said and my competence threatened, does anyone have a link for the installation of this hunk of billet aluminum? Pardon my ignorance. Thank you again for your time.

Oh and thats why I have yet to change my avatar. It fits me well.

Hold it up against the bottom rear of the car and find the 2 bolts that it lines up with. Then take the bolts out, put the bar in place and re-install the bolts. If you still don't understand, you may just want to go ahead and send it back...

Yeah, a 2 yr old could figure out how, but it does take some mechanical knowledge and experience to know how do things safely, and jack the car up and torque all the bolts right....that type of stuff. Just take it slow and you'll be fine.
