INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS PERFORMANCE REAR SWAY BAR
1) Securely block the front wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to raise the rear end of the
vehicle and support it using jack stands ON THE FRAME.
2) Observe the stock sway bar installation for reference.
3) Use a 18mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench to loosen and remove the end links from
the sway bar.
4) Using a 21 mm wrench and socket, remove the bolt that holds the passenger side rear-
most lower trailing arm to the axle.
5) Use a 18mm socket or wrench to
loosen and remove the bolts holding
the sway bar bushing brackets. Retain
all stock hardware.
6) The stock sway bar should now be loose and can drop out starting at the passenger side. The
Hotchkis bar will install in the reverse manner as the stock one.
7) Use the grease pack provided to apply a thick coat of grease to the inside of the sway bar
bushings. Slide the bushings over the bar and place the bushing retainer brackets over the
bushings. You might find it easier to install the bushings and brackets after the Hotchkis bar is in
place on the vehicle due to clearances to the bar itself.
