INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS REAR SWAY BAR
PLEASE NOTE: For the STI models, your rear endlink will bolt back in, just like the stock one
.
1)
Securely block the front wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to raise the rear end of the vehicle
and set the wheels on ramps. IT IS EASIER to install the bar when it’s on it’s wheels.
2)
Observe the stock sway bar installation for reference. Use a 14mm wrench or socket to loosen
and remove the bolts holding the end links to the sway bar. Retain the hardware for later use.
3)
Next use a 12mm wrench or socket to remove to remove the bolts holding the sway bar
brackets in place. The rear sway bar should now drop out of place. You will not be re-using any
of the brackets, bushings, or hardware from the stock sway bar.
