I did a REALLY quick search but didnt find my answer, can the rear struts be replaced without removing the sway bar end links? I just realized that I styripped it and now I have to order new ones, but I would like to get the struts in if at all possible

 

Can I use Supra end links on a 97 sc300? I went to rockauto and moog has the same part numbers for the supra and sc rear end links.

 

un bolt the top of the stock from inside the trunk.

un bolt the bottom of the stock and step on the rotor and it will fall out

 

Should I worry about damaging anything from stepping on the rotor?

 

NOPE did it to both cars here the guide W/ pics

Thanks man, I will be doing this tomorrow. I ordered my sway links but they wont be in until monday so I'm going to replace the struts and cut the old links off, sadly I will be driving with the sway bar disconnected for a few days lol.

 

no dont cut them! get some needle nose pliers and hold the inside part of the bolt tightly and then take off the 14mm nut. trust me it happened to me and that's how i got it off. very easy.

 

LOL wouldnt cutting them be faster, I have new ones coming Monday morning.

Is there any issues driving without having the sway bar hooked up for a day or so until the end links come in?

 

Follow the guide

 

When I did my front struts I thought about removing the sway link and bracket, but it was just easier for me to remove the UCA and press down on the LCA, but that is a really good write up.

Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to replace my rear struts and Monday I will put new end links on.

 

Sometimes you just NEED to cut them.... needle nose pliers is no matched for seized busted *** links.

 

LOL your telling me, I spayed it with PB blaster 3 days before I started working on it and 3 hours before I started and the damn thing still fought with me. My Impact wrench just stripped it more, so I think my cutter is coming out tomorrow to finish the job lol.
