Hellwig Sway Bar 7851 - Manual (Page 2)

5. Insert legs of U-bolt into slotted holes of the 3-hole plate. Install 3-hole plate with third hole inboard of frame rail and toward front of
vehicle. The welded spacer tab on the 3-hole plate must contact the bottom of the frame. When installed properly, the 3-hole plate will
contact the bottom of the crossmember with the welded tab contacting the frame rail. Install washers and nuts provided. LEAVE
LOOSE for adjustment later. On some models, the rear portion of the crossmember does not extend under the frame causing the plate to
rest at an angle due to the spacer tab. On these models, flip the plates over so that the spacer tab is exposed and swap the plates side to
side to install as shown in photo.
6. Install spacer tube on 7/16” X 12” threaded rod. Place a washer and poly bushing on each end of spacer tube and insert end of rod
through end-link hole in 3-hole plate. Then install poly bushing, washer and locknut on each end of rod as shown in picture.
7. With sway bar loosely mounted, work bar back and forth in D-shaped poly bushing to center bar. Tighten frame U-bolts to the torque
spec in torque table.
8. Tighten end link nuts until poly bushings start to bulge slightly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
9. Tighten axle U-bolts to 50 ft-lb. Place second nut on U-bolt and tighten against primary nut to lock in place.
10. Recheck your installation, looking for clearance on any undercarriage components, such as gas lines, exhaust pipes, brake lines, wiring,
etc.
11. Drive vehicle for a few miles, then recheck for position and tightness, readjust and retorque as needed. Then recheck periodically
thereafter.
