» Use the grease pack provided to apply a heavy coat of grease to the inside of the sway bar
bushings. Place the bushings over the bar. Push the brackets onto the sway bar bushings.
»
Hang the sway bar from the u-bolts on the axle. Slide the axle mount bracket over the
ends of the u-bolts. Hold the sway bar up into place with the bushing retainer brackets
mounted to the axle bracket.
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 nylock nuts and possibly break the u-bolt
or seize the nut in place when tightened.
With the bar hanging freely you can 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.
