SPHERICAL FRONT SWAY BAR END LINK INSTRUCTIONS
1. Our spherical front sway bar end links will mount with a 5/8” bolt. If your front
lower a-arm does not have a 5/8” mounting hole you will need to open them to 5/8”
using a 5/8” drill bit. Be sure to remove any sharp edges and burrs after drilling by
using a file or sand paper. Note that most factory sway bar end link mounting holes
will be 5/8” but may have corrosion or be slightly deformed and can be lightly
reamed with a Dremel type tool for proper fitment with our 5/8” bolt. The sway bar
end link mounting hole size on aftermarket parts will vary.
2. Bolt both of the u-shaped clevises to your front lower a-arm end link mounts using
the supplied 5/8” x 1.25” long clevis stud and 5/8” steel top lock nut. Use an
adjustable wrench to hold the clevis at its properly clocked orientation and a 15/16”
socket on the lock nut and fully tighten the nut. See Picture 1 below.
3. Loosely connect the other end of both front sway bar end links to the front sway
bar. Remove the Nylock® nut from the top of the end links and then sandwich the
sway bar between the two bushings (same as the factory end link). Then re-install
the 3/8” Nylock® nut and make it snug using a 9/16” wrench, but not fully
tightened. See Picture 2 below.
4. Safely lower the vehicle to the ground.
5. With the vehicle on the ground and the suspension loaded, using a 9/16” wrench,
tighten the 3/8” Nylock® nut on the top of both of the end links. Tighten the nuts
until you see the bushings starting to deform, then STOP.
6. Check the clearance between the top of the end link's threaded rod and the
vehicle, lines, wires, etc. throughout the entire range of up/down suspension travel
and side/side steering motion. You may need to trim off any excess threaded rod
that sticks out past the Nylock® nut for proper clearance. We keep the threads long
to accommodate the various thicknesses of aftermarket sway bars. See Picture 2
below.
7. Installation is complete.
