Sway Bar installation for 2012 535I
Hi memebers,
how easy is it to install front and back sway bars (H&R). I'm told front is easy but back can take 4+ hours? is that possible? thx, Tony |

It took my more than 15 minutes for the front. Not hard work, but you need to remove the underbody cover and its 15 or so screws. Other than that, it's a pretty easy task. Maybe closer to an hour is more realistic in my opinion.

Front is simple. Back is bit tricky, you don't need to remove or drop anything. Best way to do rear is unhook the exhaust from rubber hangers, than let exhaust rest on cross brace, again DON'T remove any extra bolts. It will give enough room to maneuver swaybar out

I did this a few month ago. It's fairly straight forward, take your time. Best if you remove the rear wheels....you don't have to remove the front wheels as the bar drops straight down.

Sway bars tune handling balance, not only reduce lean. If you want to reduce lean but don't care how it handles, you could do that... |
