necting Rod (A) where previously marked.

and axle bracket. Make sure upper and lower Rod

Ends (B) are in alignment with their respective

mounting surfaces.

outboard side of swaybar and inboard side of axle

bracket.

Once all adjustments are complete, fully tighten

the Jam Nuts (C) against the Rod Ends (B) to pre-

vent length of Adjustable End Links from changing.

ft-lbs. using a torque wrench.

HINT: Use flat spot on Rod Ends (B) to prevent

mounting stud from spinning when tightening 1/2”
