Hotchkis 2260R 1968-1974 Nova Rear Sport Sway Bar - Manual (Page 2)

3) Use a jack to raise the rear of the vehicle and support it with jack stands. Make certain the rear
axle is supported with the vehicle’s load on the leaf springs. This will keep the axle in its
normal position to ensure that the sway bar is installed in the correct position to the body.
4) Use the grease provided to apply a heavy coat of grease to the inside of the sway bar bushings.
5) Place the greased bushing over the bar with the split in the bushing facing away from the legs of
the anti-sway bar. The split should be facing towards the rear of the car when the bar is fully
installed. Place the bushing retainer brackets over the top of each bushing.
6) Grease the outsides of the bushings at each end on the ‘dog-bone’ end links. Use the long (3”)
bolts from hardware kit #T1712 to connect the end links to the inside of the sway bar. Make
certain the larger diameter washer is up against the bushing side and the smaller washer is up
against the sway bar side. This will prevent the bolt from pulling through the bushing over time.
‘Hand tighten’ the hardware only at this step. Leave the end link loose enough to rotate.
