1. Remove spare tire from vehicle before beginning installation of sway bar.
2. As shown in photo 1, place D-shaped poly-bushings onto straight areas of the bar on each side of center hump.
After installing D-bushings onto bar, place U-plates on D-bushings. The sway bar will be installed with the hump
tilted down as shown in photo 7.
3. Place U-bolts on axle tubes next to casting as shown in photos 1, 2, & 6.
When installing U-bolts, be sure to put
U-bolts under any brake lines, wires or hoses on the axle to avoid any possible damage.

that it will clear the saddle bracket as shown in photo 2. Secure brake line with tie strap.

installed so that one leg of the saddle bracket is located on the cast center section with the leg just inside the raised
lip on the casting. See photos 1,2,& 6.
