INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Raise the front of the car to an adequate working height, then support the chassis securely with jack
stands. The installation can be performed without removing the front wheels.
2. Look carefully at the current installation of the front sway bar and note the bar's properly installed
orientation, etc.
3. Loosen all four of the factory front sway bar bushing bolts (two per side) leaving them engaged by a
few threads to support the front sway bar.
4. Remove both of the front sway bar end links from each end of the front sway bar. These can be
discarded.
5. Support and/or hold the front sway bar while removing the four front sway bar bushing bolts and then
remove the front sway bar from the car.
6. Remove the bushings from the factory front sway bar's metal bushing shells and discard. Then
throughly clean any grit, grime, corrosion, etc. from the factory bushing shells.
7. Grease the inside bore of both of the supplied polyurethane front sway bar bushings using the supplied
packets of Silicone® grease.
8. Install the polyurethane bushings onto our front sway bar. Orient the bushings so that the bushing's
split seam will face the front of the vehicle when installed.
9. Install the factory front sway bar bushing metal shells over the polyurethane bushings. Make sure they
are oriented correctly so that the bolt holes will align properly with the bolt holes in the car.
10. Hold our front sway bar up into place and loosely install it into the car re-using the four factory front
sway bar bushing mounting bolts. Do not fully tighten the bolts.
11. Loosely install the upper bushed end of the spherical front sway bar end links to both ends of our front
sway bar. Then install the clevis end of both of the end links to the front lower a-arms. This clevis end can
be fully tightened, keep the upper sway bar connected ends loose. Detailed spherical front sway bar
end link instructions are shown on the next page.
12. Push the front sway bar (bushings) as far forward as possible and then fully tighten all four of the
front sway bar bushing bolts.
13. Safely lower the car to the ground.
14. With the car 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 front sway bar end links. Tighten the nuts until you see the
bushings starting to deform, then STOP. Installation is complete.
