FRONT SWAY BAR END LINK INSTRUCTIONS
1. Safely raise the front of the car to an adequate working height, then support the
chassis securely with jack stands.
2. Loosen and remove your front sway bar end links from both ends of the sway bar.
3. Our spherical sway bar end links will mount with a 5/8” bolt. If your front lower a-
arm or rear chassis end link mount does not have a 5/8” mounting hole you will need
to open them to 5/8” using a 5/8” drill bit. Be sure to remove any sharp edges and
burrs after drilling by using a file or sand paper. Note that most factory sway bar end
link mounting holes will be 5/8” but may have corrosion or be slightly deformed and
can be lightly reamed with a Dremel type tool for proper fitment with our 5/8” bolt.
The sway bar end link mounting hole size on aftermarket parts will vary.
4. Bolt both of the u-shaped clevises to your front lower a-arms or rear chassis
mounted (depending on the application you purchased these for) end link mounts
using the supplied 5/8” x 1.25” long clevis stud and 5/8” steel top lock nut. Use an
adjustable wrench to hold the clevis at its properly clocked orientation and a 15/16”
socket on the lock nut and fully tighten the nut. See Picture 1 below.
5. Loosely connect the other end of both front sway bar end links to the front sway
bar. Remove the Nylock® nut from the top of the end links and then sandwich the
sway bar between the two bushings (same as the factory end link). Then re-install
the 3/8” Nylock® nut and make it snug using a 9/16” wrench, but not fully
tightened. See Picture 2 below.
6. Safely lower the vehicle to the ground.
7. With the vehicle on the ground and the suspension loaded, using a 9/16” wrench,
tighten the 3/8” Nylock® nut on the top of both of the end links. Tighten the nuts
until you see the bushings starting to deform, then STOP.
8. Check the clearance between the top of the end link's threaded rod and the
vehicle, lines, wires, etc. throughout the entire range of up/down suspension travel
and side/side steering motion. You may need to trim off any excess threaded rod
that sticks out past the Nylock® nut for proper clearance. We keep the threads long
to accommodate the various thicknesses of aftermarket sway bars. See Picture 2
below.
9. Installation is complete.
