Before You Start
Please read this entire instruction manual before starting. Being prepared with the right tools
and procedures will aid in the ease of this installation.
:
This sway bar kit requires Hotchkis Trailing Arms (p/n 1301) to be installed beforehand. You
will not be able to install this kit using stock trailing arms due to end link interference.
1. Raise Rear of the Vehicle
To properly install the rear sway bar you must have the rear suspension at ride height.
Please use a 4-post lift or alignment rack to raise the vehicle. If these are not available,
you may use floor ramps to gain access to the underside of the vehicle. Floor ramps
can be found at most local auto parts stores.
2. Install Hotchkis End Links
