Installation
‰ 1. REMOVE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT (OE)
SWAYBAR LINKS
 Remove front swaybar drop links per the fac-
tory service manual instructions for your vehicle.
Retain the original mounting hardware as it is
required for Quick Disconnect installation.
‰ 2. MOUNT UPPER ENDS TO SWAYBAR
 Install Upper Female End (E) of Quick Disconnect
to outboard side of swaybar, ensuring Grease Zerk
(C) is facing forward.
IMPORTANT: Female end must be mounted on top to
prevent it from collecting mud and debris.
 Secure Upper End (E) with the original tapered
mounting bolt and hardware. Tighten to 40-50 ft-
lb. using a torque wrench.
‰ 3. MOUNT LOWER ENDS TO AXLE
 Install Lower Male End (B) of Quick Disconnect to
the front axle U-bolt plates, ensuring Grease Zerk
(C) is facing forward.
 Secure Lower End (B) with the original mounting
hardware. Tighten until all threads on nut engage
the OE mounting stud, but do NOT overtighten
polyurethane bushing.
‰ 4. MEASURE ANGLE OF SWAYBAR
 With the Quick Disconnects installed, and the
vehicle on level ground and at normal ride height,
measure swaybar angle to ensure it complies with
the Acceptable Range below.
HINT: See illustration of swaybar angle
‰ 5. DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT ENDS
OF QUICK DISCONNECT
HINT: Always disconnect and reconnect swaybar with
vehicle on level ground and at normal ride height.
 Remove the Stainless Steel Lynch Pins (D) to
disconnect swaybar.
 Rotate the swaybar up and out of the way.
IMPORTANT: When disconnected, the swaybar must
be secured to vehicle chassis to prevent interference
with suspension components or axle. Use plastic wire
ties, bungee cord or equivalent.
 To reconnect, rotate swaybar down and align both
ends of Quick Disconnect so that male and female
union slides together.
 Insert Stainless Steel Lynch Pin (D) through the
male/female union to secure Quick Disconnect
ends and lock the lynch pin in place.
HINT: It is normal to experience some difficulty
when removing or inserting lynch pins following
initial installation. Vehicle must be driven for a
few days to break in Quick Disconnects and allow
lynch pins to seat. With use, lynch pins will be-
come easier to remove/insert.
‰ 6. LUBRICATE QUICK DISCONNECTS
Flush mount grease zerks require special grease gun at-
tachment available at any auto parts store – use Lincoln®
PN 83278 or equivalent.
 Lubricate all Grease Zerk fittings (C) on Quick
Disconnects immediately after installation using
common wheel bearing grease or equivalent.
