Hellwig Sway Bar 7870 - Manual (Page 3)

6. Loosely attach the rod end to the middle hole on the sway using the 7/16” bolt, washers and stover nut.
The middle hole position is for sizing the end link only, it is recommended to start with the end link
attached to the outermost (softest) hole until the driver gets used to the change in ride characteristic and
they can then adjust the hole positioning for their driving style.
7. Attach the quick disconnect pins to the existing lower end link mounting bracket following the diagram
and Photo 6. Torque bolts to 25-30 ft-lb. A small phillips screwdriver can be inserted in to the hole in
the end of the pin to keep it from turning while tightening bolt.
8. Lubricate the inside of the hourglass bushing on the end link and slide it over the quick disconnect pin.
This will be held in place with the included linch pin.
9. Lengthen or shorten the end link so the sway bar arms are parallel to the ground. Once it’s the correct
length, tighten the jam nut to hold it in place.
10. Move the rod end to the outermost hole, recheck that the bar is centered and tighten down all end link
bolts to 35-40 ft lb and u-plate bolts in frame to 25 ft-lb.
