Hotchkis 2253 Sway Bars, Set, 65-66 GM B-Body, Sport - Manual (Page 8)

4) Use the grease provided to apply a heavy coat of grease to the sides of the bushings on the
“dog bone” end links. Attach the mounting brackets to the end links using hardware kit #T1712.
Attach the other end of the links to the sway bar. Leave the attaching hardware loose.
The large washer should be used to contact bushing surfaces and the small washer should be
used to contact metal surfaces. This prevents the bolt from pulling through the bushing. You will have
2 large washers and 2 small washers left over. This is extra hardware and may be discarded.
5) Hang the sway bar from the u-bolts on the axle. Place the axle brackets over the ends of the u-
bolts first. Slide the bushing brackets over the u-bolts to rest against the axle brackets. Install
with the nuts loosely started onto the u-bolts so that the sway bar hangs freely from the axle.
Use the anti-seize provided with the u-bolts to lubricate the threads. Failure to lubricate the
threads can destroy the nuts and possibly break the u-bolt or seize the nut in place when tightened.
6) Slide the u-bolts along the axle until the bar is centered with the vehicle. Tighten down the nuts
on the u-bolts to secure the position of the u-bolts and brackets. Tighten the nuts evenly to
avoid pulling the u-bolt to one side of the axle!
