Good luck on installing that front sway bar. Even with a lift, it was a PITA to manuever out.

Haha, they're gonna have to lower it more than a little.  Did they give you a price in advance?

I've done this installation like 5 times. I lowered the subframe as far as it can go, and it still was a bitch to get out and put the new one in. I hope they are giving you a good price.

I agree.  The front sway bar install sucks.  I will never do it again without removing the sub frame.

This!  I got blind sided and they charged me over $500 to change the front and rear sway bars... (I stripped out the end of the rear links).

Swapped my one bent wheel for a new one and discovered a torn inner cv boot on the PS. It never ends with these nickel and dime repairs.
