5. Position the Sway Bar
Since all of the hardware is still semi-loose, we can position the sway bar so that the
end links are perpendicular to the trailing arm. Once the bar is positioned, fully tighten
the axle bracket U-bolts. Then fully tighten the rest of the hardware. You are finished
with this installation.
6. Optional Reinforcement
If the vehicle is going to be drag racing or road racing, it is recommended that you weld
the axle brackets to the axle tubes. Sand off the paint on the mating edge of the axle
bracket and axle tube. MIG weld a few beads on each side of the bracket. Finish it off
with a little spray paint to keep it from rusting.
