INSTRUCTIONS
1. Raise the front of the car to an adequate working height, then support the chassis securely
with jack stands. The installation can be performed without removing the front wheels.
2. Look carefully at the current installation of the front sway bar and note the bar's properly
installed orientation, etc.
3. Loosen all four of the factory front sway bar bushing bolts (two per side) leaving them
engaged by a few threads to support the front sway bar.
4. Remove both of the front sway bar end links from each end of the front sway bar. These
can be discarded.
5. Support and/or hold the front sway bar while removing the four front sway bar bushing
bolts and then remove the front sway bar from the car.
6. Grease the inside bore of both of the supplied polyurethane front sway bar bushings using
the supplied packets of Silicone® grease.
7. Install the polyurethane bushings onto our front sway bar. Orient the bushings so that the
bushing's split seam will face the front of the vehicle when installed. Then install the supplied
front sway bar bushing metal shells over the polyurethane bushings.
8. Hold our front sway bar up into place and loosely install it into the car using the four
supplied flanged head bolts. Do not fully tighten the bolts. Note: Do NOT re-use the factory
mounting bolts as the heads will not properly cover the larger bushing shell mounting slots.
9. Loosely install the supplied polyurethane front sway bar end links to both ends of our front
sway bar. Then install the other end of both of the end links to the front lower a-arms. This
lower end can be fully tightened, keep the upper sway bar connected ends loose.
10. Push the front sway bar (bushing slots) as far forward as possible and then fully tighten all
four of the front sway bar bushing bolts.
11. Safely lower the car to the ground.
12. With the car 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 front sway bar end links. Tighten the nuts until you
see the bushings starting to deform, then STOP.
13. Grease the bushings through their grease fittings using a synthetic Silicone® based
grease. Do NOT ever use a petroleum based grease on polyurethane bushings. This grease is
available from Spohn Performance – Part# 902.
14. Installation is complete.
