7. Using the included white silicone grease, grease the inside of the urethane 1 7/16” in
sway bar bushings. (The silicone grease can be cleaned up with WD40.)
8. 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.
9. Place the bushing’s bracket over top the bushing.
10. Install the new swaybar into the car using the included Cap Screws on the new
brackets. This step will take some manipulating, as the original car was designed for a
very small sway bar. You will need a ¼” or a 6mm Allen Driver Socket for this. Our
swaybar set is a much larger diameter than stock bar, and our Heavy Duty sway bar
bushings and brackets are larger as well. You might find it easier to slightly squeeze
the brackets together in a vice to allow you to better align the bracket holes with the
original factory holes. Using a ratchet or air impact, install the screws with a washer
under each head. This does work very well, you just need to use some torque to install
these bolts. Have patience with this step.
