Fitting Front Sway Bar.
Did it myself last year to an AWD, I'l lleave this in as well.
1) Slacken wheel nuts slightly each side
2) Jack up on and stand the body on axle stands with cushioning to the body. Handbrake on and wheel chocks at the rear.
3) Take wheels off.
4) Remove links between the sway bar ends and the lower track Control arms.
5) Remove the plastic undershield
6) Remove the shield on the longitudinal engine member.
7) Loosen the longitudinal engine member.
8) I then removed the exhaust front pipe between the cat and the 2 exhaust manifolds. There is enough cable on the O2 sensor to let the pipe drop enough. Caution the cable is clipped to the tunnel above the exhaust pipe.
9) Remove the sway bar saddle clamps each side.
10) AWD ONLY. Disconnect the front prop shaft from the centre bearing assembly and pull out of the gearbox. BEFORE doing mark the flange so it can be put back the correct way.
11) Remove the old sway bar.
12) Put the new yellow bushes on the new bar, AFTER using the grease supplied by Whiteline.
13) and on. Reverse the above from 10 back to 1.

At the end don't tighten the link bolts until the car is on the ground,

It can be done on a FWD in about 2 hours, slightly longer on an AWD because of the time it takes to remove and replace the front prop shaft.

Ideally you need a good socket set, some ring spanners, screwdrivers etc.

I did not need any exhaust sealer for the pipe to manifold joints.
