INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT STABILIZER BAR
1) Please look at the original front antiroll bar and note the orientation of the front bar. You
will want to install the new Hotchkis bar in the same manner. You will find the bar
mounted directly to the engine cradle, just behind the steering rack on the top of the
cradle. Look carefully how the hoses are routed around the bar, as you will need to
have them in the same spot when you are finished with the installation of the Hotchkis
bar.
2)
Use a jack to raise the vehicle and support with jack stands. It is much easier if the
whole vehicle is in the air.
3) Remove the rear reinforcement bracket that hold the subframe to the frame rails of the
car. Use a 14mm socket to remove the bolts holding the brace. There are two of them
on the car.
4) Take out the bolts that hold the motor mount to the engine cradle. These are 14mm
bolts.
5) Start removing the bolts that hold the cradle to the body using 17mm sockets.
6) Remove the bolts that hold the steering rack to the cradle. These are 17mm. Please
note that there is a nut on the top side of the steering rack you have to get a wrench on.
7) Once these bolts are all out, the subframe should only be held on by the lower control
arms.
