Rear Bar Installation
1. Look at the current sway bar installation.
2. Support the vehicle by the frame with lift jacks or jack stands, allowing the
suspension to be unsupported.
3. Remove the sway bar endlinks.
4. Remove the four bolts holding the sway bar to the axle U-Bolts.
5. Remove the factory sway bar and U-bolts from the vehicle.
6. Using the included white silicone grease, grease the inside of the urethane 1”
in sway bar bushings. (The silicone grease can be cleaned up with WD40.)
7. Install the urethane bushings on the bar. Make sure you position the bushing
so when the bar is installed in the vehicle, the split will face the front of the
car.
8. Place the bushing’s bracket over top the bushing.
9. Attach the swaybar to the axle using the new Hotchkis U-bolts and brackets.
Note: The new brackets may have only one side of the bracket engaged on
the axle tab. Do not fully tighten the axle U-bolts at this point.
10. Insert the new endlinks (part # 98125) through the bar and the frame bracket.
Tighten till the bushings are squeezed to a larger diameter that their support
washer.
11. Tighten the U-bolts.
12. Double check that all fasteners are tightened.
Your installation is finished. Enjoy your new sway bars!
