Question 1

How to remove a Sway Bars on Dodge Grand Caravan?

Accepted Answer

You should start by elevating and supporting your car to remove the front sway bar kit. Take out the wheel mounting nuts on each side and then the tire and wheel assembly from both wheels. Both ends of the sway bar kit, take a wrench to hold the lower stud stationary while removing the nut joining the sway bar link to the bar. From each end, loosen and remove the nut near the rod end stud while the knuckle end is fixed by hand. Remove each outer tie rod end from the knuckle by using Remover, Special Tool number 9360. Then, get rid of the front engine mount thru-bolt and remove the front mounting bolt in the fore-aft crossmember and take out all the four rear bolts (3, 4) to remove the crossmember. Detach the screws and push-pins holding the heat shield onto the right side of the steering gear and afterwards take off the heat shield. Remove the screws securing the power steering pressure hose routing clamp(s) (4.0L auto only has one) and also take out the rear engine mount. Unscrew the retainers holding the sway bar kit bushings to the crossmember and then take the retainers out. Ease the two cushions out of the sway bar kit by removing them from the slit in the bushings. Rotation of the sway bar kit is next and then remove it from the bottom of the driver side.

Question 2

How to Install a Sway Bars for the Front Stabilizer on Dodge Grand Caravan?

Accepted Answer

Consult the manual for steps on checking the sway bar kit before installing and swap out any worn, cracked or distorted links before you put it on. The sway bar kit should have its ends curving under the steering gear tie rods after it is mounted. Rotate and install the sway bar kit along the driver side wheel opening until you feel it is centered above the suspension crossmember. Place the two bushings over the sway bar kit, inserting them through the slit in the bushing side and then install the sway bar bushing retainers over top of the bushings. Install the retainers on the crossmember using four screws, made with a torque of 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.). On the back of the crossmember, put the hose pressure routing clamp in place and fasten it with a screw to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.). First set up the rear engine mount and then attach the heat shield over the steering gear, installing the hold-downs and screwing them in to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.). Lower the fore-aft crossmember into the engine compartment and add the mounting bolts; tighten the bolts at the front end to 113 Nm and the rear bolts to 55 Nm. Install the thru-bolt that holds the engine to the mount, then tighten it to 57 Nm (42 ft. lbs.). On the outside, fasten the outer tie rod to the knuckle, add a nut to its end, secure the stud with one hand and use a wrench to tighten the nut to 75 Nm (55 ft. lbs.), before turning the end of the stud 245°. Secure the ends of the sway bar kit with a link and then tighten the nut holding the link's lower stud stationary at 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.). For arrival, fit the tires and wheels onto their associated axle and bolt the wheels on firmly to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
