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.
