not if you don't want to. taking them off can make getting access to the endlinks easier, as well as manuvering the bar in and out, but its not required.

i dont think it would help much. the wheels dont get in the way while doing the install. plus you need to have load while installing both of them
gluck.

To install the Bar and endlinks, you do not need to remove the wheels.

It is easier to install the bar when the car is loaded (on a ramp would be ideal). The hardest part is to get the bar to go around the exhaust. Otherwise this is the easiest install, other than STBs.
good luck!

exactly what he said.

on a side note you may want to get some extra axle grease or some white lithium grease and really lb the bushing(s) on the bar and endlinks...just o crazy with it and be srue to tighten everything down well.

Also the actuall setting of the bar can be a PITA if you're not too strong. I managed to get everything together on my own. Just be honest with yourself...if you think you're strong enough to set the bar in and secure all the bolts than rock on! If not, then there's no shame in getting a buddy to help you. I actually wish i would have.

Depends on which bar you

bought as to whether to lube or not. Whiteline uses lube, while Cusco doesn't (rubber bushings). I have Cusco front and rear and never heard a noise from either.

I didn't hear any noise from the Cusco's until it started to get cold out. The rear made so much noise I thought I broke something. Took the mounts off, greased it, gone for 6 months. Now I'm starting to hear it again. Guess I need to keep it greased.

I have the curly-Q Whiteline endlinks and those need to be greased a bit. I was ghetto when I installed mine and drove my car's rear wheels onto some bricks. Haha. But if you got a ramp use that.
