Hellwig Sway Bar 6705 User Manual

Page 2

1. Remove the factory mounted sway bar. Do not discard the factory u-plates mounting bolts, they will be

used to install the new front sway bar. This installation will also require the factory end link assemblies
and mounting hardware.

2. Install the D-shaped poly bushings on the new sway bar as close a position as the factory sway bar.

See

photo ( 2 ).

3. Raise the sway bar and attach to the vehicles frame with the U-plates supplied and the mounting hard-

ware removed in

STEP ( 1 ). Leave loose to allow for adjustment.

4. Raise the arms of the sway and attach the outermost hole to the factory mounted end links using the

factory mounting hardware.

See photo ( 3 ).

5. With the sway bar properly aligned and the end links are straight up and down re-torque all mounting

hardware to the factory specifications. Check for clearance for steering linkages, electrical wires, brake
and fuel lines.

6. Test drive your vehicle and recheck your installation re-torque if needed. Re-check your installation on

a monthly regular basis thereafter.

7. Notice in photo ( 4 ) the sway bars arms have three (3) mounting holes. Attatching the sway bar

on the outer hole will be the mildest setting. Relocating the attachment to the inner holes will

make the bar more aggressive. We recommend starting with the outer mounting hole as shown

in photo ( 4 ) until you are accustomed to the vehicles new handling characteristics.
