INSTRUCTIONS
1. Safely raise 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 front
sway bar. Everything can be discarded.
3. Our spherical front sway bar end links will mount with a 5/8” bolt. You will need to
open up the sway bar end link mounting hole in your factory front lower a-arm to
5/8” using a 5/8” drill or by reaming the hole with a Dremel type tool or die grinder.
Be sure to remove any sharp edges and burrs after drilling using a file or sand paper.
4. Bolt both u-shaped clevises to your factory front lower a-arm end link mounts
using the supplied 5/8” steel top lock nut. Use a 15/16” wrench on the spacer nut
that is welded to the underside of the clevis to hold the clevis at its properly clocked
position and a 15/16” socket on the bottom lock nut and fully tighten. See Picture 1
below.
5. Loosely connect the other end of both of our spherical front sway bar end links to
both ends of your front sway bar. Remove the Nylock® nut from the top of our end
links and then sandwich the front 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 chassis, 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.
