INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ASSISTANCE
RECOMMENDED. CUTTING IS REQUIRED.
2. Remove the front plastic splash guard from under the front bumper and place it on a clean,
stable work area.
3. Locate the factory vibration dampener on top of the cross member. The vibration dampener
covers a mounting location for a Support Bracket. NOTE: The vibration dampener is typically
located on the passenger side for hybrid models, (Figure 1), and on the driver side for gas
models, (Figure 2). Temporarily remove the dampener from the top of crossmember.
IMPORTANT: Pay close attention to how the dampener is mounted to the crossmember as it
will be reinstalled.
4. Remove the plastic plugs covering the holes through the crossmember on the driver and
passenger side, (Figure 3).
Gas Models (non Hybrid)
a. Driver Side Bolt Plate Installation: Insert (1) 12mm x 90mm Bolt Plate down through
the crossmember from the top, (Figures 4A & 4B). Re-install the suspension dampener
over the Bolt Plate using the factory hardware. NOTE: Use the included 8mm Flat
Washers on the factory hex bolts for spacers between the dampener and the
crossmember as required for proper Bolt Plate clearance, (Figure 5). Rotate the lock
tab on the Bolt Plate for proper fit between the crossmember and dampener.
