Toyota Hybrid System (THS)

The hybrid system is a type of powertrain that uses a combination of two types of motive forces, such as an engine and a motor (MG2). This system is characterized by its skillful use of two types of motive forces according to the driving conditions. It maximizes the strengths of each of the motive forces and complements their weaknesses. Thus, it can achieve a highly responsive, dynamic performance, as well as a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions. The THS can be broadly divided into two systems: the series hybrid system, and the parallel hybrid system.

Chrysler Magnum, Charger, 300C, SRT-8 Anti-roll Bar Set Installation

1) Secure the rear wheels with blocks and jack the front up. Support the front of the vehicle with jack stands on the frame. Observe the stock sway bar orientation and position for reference.
Note: If you are using a 4 post lift or alignment rack, you do not have to jack the front up.
2) Remove the heat shields that cover the subframe mounts using a 10mm wrench or socket.
3) Remove the subframe mounts by unbolting 2 bolts per mount using a 15mm socket. The Sway bar should be hanging by it’s endlinks at this point. Retain all hardware and brackets for reinstallation.
