Description:
rear swaybar installation for B5 chassis
Notes: These performance swaybars utilize Autotech’s unique sliding endlink design
that prevents binding of the bar (and preloading of the suspension) due to
locational differences between the mounting points of the rear suspension and the
swaybar itself.
TOOLS REQUIRED: PARTS LIST:
1. jackstands 1. rear swaybar
2. electric drill and 1O.5mm (27/64")bit 2. (4) poly bushings
3. silicone lubricant 3. (4) steel ring mounts
4. metric wrenches, 13 to 17mm 4. (2) 1Omm rod ends
5. tape measure 5. (6) 1Omm hardened washers
6. moly grease 6. (2) 1Omm nylock nuts
7. (2) M10x100 shock bolts
Procedure:
1. Apply a generous amount of waterproof grease to the inside of the bushings, and some sili-
cone spray along each of the bends on the swaybar.
2. Slide the two inboard mounts onto the swaybar and push them past both bends so that
they end up on the middle, straight section of the swaybar. The inboard mounts will be
installed on the axlebeam when they are as far apart from each other as possible with-
out overlapping any of the bends on the bar. Measure, and take note of this distance.
The distance from stud to stud on the inboard mounts should be approximately as fol-
lows:
B5 Chassis = 25 inches
3. Raise the rear of the car and place it on jackstands. Be sure that the car is in gear, the
front wheels are chocked, and that it cannot roll.
