Use the 3/8” bolts from hardware kit #1735 to attach the Hotchkis bar. Drop the bolts down
through the drilled out holes in the frame. Start the washers and nylock nuts onto the ends of
the bolts. You will use only four of each nut, washer and bolt. DO NOT THROW THE EXTRA
HARDWARE AWAY, as it is used for the rear sway bar
. Torque the hardware to 35 ft/lbs.

Re-place the end links removed in step 10 and tighten them into place. Tighten the end links
until the nut meets slightly stiff resistance. The bushings will have a slight bulge when tight.
13)
Re-check all hardware for tightness. Cover the zerk fittings in the brackets with the grease caps
that came attached to the brackets. You are finished with the front sway bar installation
IMPORTANT:
For maintenance, use the zerk fittings to grease the bushings at least once a year
(15,000 miles) or when excessive noise occurs. Use a non-lithium based grease only
! A lithium-based
grease can wash out with water and should not be used.
