Remove the factory installed sway bar and all the mounting hardware. Do not discard the end link assemblies and the U-plate
mounting bolts as they will be used for reinstallation of the new front sway bar.

Install the D-shaped poly bushings on the sway bar in the same location as the factory sway bar. Position the sway bar up on
the vehicles frame using the U-plates provided. Fasten with the mounting bolts that were removed in step (1).

Leave loose at

this time to allow for adjustment later.

Install the end link bushings that are provided onto the factory end links. Fasten the arms of the sway bar to the factory end
links. Using the mounting bolts and hardware that was removed in step (1) fasten the end links to the sway bar. SEE PHOTO
2 & 3. If end link bushings do not line up correctly with sway bar, remove sway bar, flip bar over and re-install.

With the sway bar properly aligned and the end links are aligned properly, torque all the mounting hardware to the factory
specifications. SEE PHOTO (1).

Test drive your vehicle and recheck your installation re-torque if necessary. Recheck your installation on a regular monthly
basis thereafter.
