of the crossmember with the legs of the U-bolt pointing downward.
6. Insert the legs of the U-bolts into the slotted holes of the frame brackets. Using 1/2” locknuts and wash-
ers, install the frame bracket with the clevis on the rear side of the bracket as shown in photos. LEAVE

links. Lubricate the bushing and sleeve before assembly. Attach 9/16 nut to threaded half of end link
before assembling end link halves.
8. Attach end links to clevis on frame brackets using 7/16 X 2-1/4 bolts and locknuts. LEAVE LOOSE for

washer can be placed between the sway bar and end link bushing to aid alignment of the end links.
