Hotchkis 2268 Hardware pack for 59-64 Rear Sway Bar - Manual (Page 11)

11
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
For some models, the vehicle may have a different rear section of the chassis frame. This
alternate type of frame ends it’s fully boxed tubing and transitions to a C-channel type.
(See below)
↓
IF your vehicle has this type of frame, you must use hardware kit # 1750 and proceed to the
following special instructions.
Since the intersection between the box tubing and C-channel prevents you from using the
retainer bracket, an alternative method will be used to mount the end link clevis brackets to the
frame. We will use 2 bolts & washers to replace the retainer bracket.
INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS PERFORMANCE REAR SWAY BAR
» Securely block the front wheels of the vehicle and jack up the rear end. Support the rear
end on jack stands and place the jack under the rear end for later use. You will have to
have the rear axle at approximate normal ride height to install the rear sway bar in a
later step.
»
Begin by placing the u-bolts from hardware kit #T1722 over the rear axle. Place them
roughly the same distance from the center of the axle, with the ends of the u-bolts
pointed straight down. See the picture below for approximate spacing of the u-bolts
when installed.
