General Notes:

These instructions are meant to be a general guide for installing Hellwig Products Co. sway bars. Hellwig Products Co. Inc. assumes no liability for the actual installation process. Consumers should apply common automotive safety practices when working on any vehicles. DO NOT put yourself in a position where if the vehicle should move unexpectedly, you may be seriously hurt.
Hellwig suspension products are designed for ease of installation with standard tools. However, access to a jack, jack stands, and work lights may provide added assistance during your installation. As described in Hellwig installation instructions, many fasteners require proper tension or torque. Use of a torque wrench will verify proper torque for this requirement.

• To ease installation and to properly adjust bar, the weight of the vehicle must be on the suspension, as if driving down the Do not Raise Vehicle by frame.
• If raising the vehicle off the floor to install the anti-sway bar, always fully support the vehicle with jack Ensure that the jack stands are securely positioned, and are rated at or above the weight of the vehicle.
• Don’t forget to lube all bushings and end
• Always use impact grade sockets with air ratches or impact
• Holes Are Producing an Interference – Apply torque to the
• Nut and Bolt Head are Different Diameters or Shapes – Apply torque to the side with the smaller bearing This also applies when the hole diameters are different.
• When Clamping Two Different Materials Together – It is always better to apply torque on the component that is against the material with a lower frictional
• Long Bolts Are Being Used – When torque is applied to the head of a very long bolt, you may see the effects of torsional wind-up. Applying torque to the nut in this situation will help to avoid that
• There will be many instances where you can apply torque to either the nut or the bolt But if one of the above situations applies, remember to follow the guidelines for a better fit and more durable installation.

Step 1: Disconnect the driveshaft.

1. Place matchmarks on the rear driveshaft assembly flange and rear differential
2. Remove the 4 nuts, 4 bolts, 4 washers and disconnect the rear

Step 2: Remove end link.

Remove the end-link from the sway bar utilizing a 6mm hex key and 15mm wrench.
Leave upper part of end-link attached to frame.
*Do not discard factory fasteners. They will be reused.

Step 3: Remove sway bar.

With the end-links free from the sway bar. Remove the 4 nuts holding the sway bar in place with a 15mm socket wrench.
Gently remove the sway bar and guide over axle, using two hands.
*Do not discard factory fasteners. They will be reused.

Step 4: Place new swaybar over axle

Step 5: Attach factory end links.

Attach your new Hellwig sway bar to the factory end-links. Use original fasteners utilizing a 6mm hex key and 15mm wrench.
Tighten original fasteners but do not torque yet, allowing the bar to rotate up into position.

Step 6: Lubricate

Apply ample amount of lubricant to the inside of each D-Bushing. Install the
D-Bushings on the bar in the approximate location of mounting. (Usually about half a packet of lube per D-Busing).

Step 7: Install U-plates.

Finalize attaching your new Hellwig sway bar. Take the provided U-pates and slide them over the provided lubricated
D-Bushings and onto the threaded studs. Utilizing a 15mm deep socket and ratchet thread the original nuts onto the factory studs.
Tighten nuts but do not torque yet.

Step 8: Collar clamps.

Now with everything mounted and hanging in place, line up and square the sway bar by sliding it slightly to the left or right. Once in desired position, install collar clamps on the inside, touching the D-bushings. Use a 3/16 Allen Head Key to tighten collar clamps.

Step 9: Reinstall driveshaft.

Reverse procedure in Step 1. See step 10 for torque values.

Step 10: Torque

Revisit each of the fasteners and torque to the specified torque table.

Fasteners:

All Hellwig supplied fasteners must be utilized and installed in accordance with the installation instructions and apply torque to the specifications as defined.

Modification:

Do not attempt to modify the vehicle or the Hellwig product you are installing. If a problem is encountered, stop and call Hellwig Products (1-800-367-5480) for support. Hellwig Products Company will not be responsible for any damage or injury resulting from any modification or alteration.
