1. Remove the factory front sway bar, unbolting the end link at the sway bar end and leave
the factory end links in place. Retain all hardware since it will be reused in the install.
2. Lubricate the inside of the provided polyurethane bushings and place them on the Hell-
wig sway bar in the stock locations.
3. Place the sway bar in the stock location and, using the factory bolts and bracket, bolt to
the frame as shown in Photo 2. Torque bolts to factory specifications.
4. Bolt the factory end link to the sway bar. The sway bar has two holes to allow adjustabil-
ity in its stiffness. The further out hole is the softer setting and we recommend starting in
this position until you are familiar with the vehicle’s new handling characteristics. Then
you can move the inner hole if you want the sway bar to be stiffer. Torque nut to manu-
facturer specifications. See Photo 3.
5. Bounce the front of the vehicle with the wheels straight and then turned full lock in both
directions checking for clearance on all undercarriage components. Be sure all nuts and
bolts are securely fastened.
6. Drive the vehicle and recheck your installation, look for clearance between gas lines, ex-
haust pipes, brake lines, wiring, etc. After one week of driving check your installation
and periodically thereafter.
