How to remove and install the Sway Bar and Sway Bar Bushing components of a vehicle's front subframe on Mazda 6?

The first step to take in order to remove the components is to loosen front wheel lug nuts, lift the front of the vehicle and sustain it on jackstands with the application of parking brake and blocking of rear wheels. The second step is to unscrew the front wheels and take off the stabilizer bar links with the bar with the help of an Allen wrench to hold the stud in case the ballstud rotates around the nut. Unhook the steering shaft and steering gear, but make sure not to turn the steering wheel in order to prevent rupture of the airbag clock spring. Next, loosen the tie-rod ends inserting the steering knuckles and take away the steering gear bolts. Separate the exhaust pipe/s off the exhaust manifold/s and hold the back of the subframe up with a floor jack. Relax the front sub frame mounting fasteners, strip the back sub frame fasteners and use the jack to lower the back of the sub frame. Unscrew the stabilizer bar bushing clamps and direct the stabilizer bar out of the subframe body. When the stabilizer bar is not connected, drop off the retainer bushings and examine them to see if they are cracked or worn and change them as needed. Wipe the stabilizer bar bushing area using a stiff wire brush to clean it off. During installation, grease the interior and exterior of the new bushing using vegetable oil in order to help in reassembling the bushing with the slits of the bushings oriented at the rear of the car. Lastly, removal is the opposite of installation and fasteners are supposed to be tightened at the required torque levels.

Mazda 6 Sway Bar

The Mazda 6 Sway Bar keeps the car flat during turns since it is able to resist body roll and thus the driver can have a steady grip during fast turns or on rough roads. The bar is a torsion spring that acts as a solid torsion spring, connecting the right and left wheels at the front or the rear, and upon being forced against roll forces, it immediately provides roll stiffness to the suspension. Each of the two ends has short lever arms that clamp to the suspension links in such a way that as one wheel lifts, the bar takes up part of the motion on the other side and balances the chassis and reduces undesired lean. This element was incorporated by Mazda when the stabilizer bar became common in production automobiles in the 1950s, and all subsequent Mazda 6 models still have the same basic design since the physics of this system has proven viable. Other models include a front Sway Bar to provide rudimentary roll control, with the sportier trims having a rear bar to enhance cornering effectiveness, reflecting how placement and no radical redesign make the available styles quite distinct. Although all sizes are alike, every Sway Bar is made of a simple steel rod with its shape designed to provide maximum torsional strength, and therefore, owners enjoy a flatter feel without compromising the compliant ride that is provided by modern coil springs. This comfort and composure mix is one of the features of modern Mazda suspension tuning.
