Getting Started
This SwayBar Kit utilizes a Delrin Liner in the SwayBar Bushing. The Delrin Liner allows the SwayBar to move freely and quietly in the Bushing. The Delrin is self-lubricating, no lubrication is required.
-
Jack the vehicle up to a safe working height and support with jack stands. Make sure the jack stands are stable before working under the car.
-
Remove the stock sway bar.
-
Open the delrin liner at the split and slip it overthe swaybar. Position it in the area that the bushing will ride based on the location of the stock swaybar. Do this on both ends of the swaybar. Next, open the swaybar Bushing at the split and slide it OVER the delrin liner. Do this on both delrin liners.
-
Slip the bushing straps over the swaybar bushings.
-
The offset mounting plate will get bolted to the OEM sway bar mount. It is bolted to the OEM holes using the SLOTTED holes in the offset plate with the (2) round holes offset toward the engine. Install a 3/8” flat washer on (2) 3/8”-16 x 1 1/4” hex bolts. A bolt/washer will go in each of the (2) mounting holes. Insert a bolt/ washer through each slotted hole and OEM mounting hole. With the bolt/washers installed, install a 3/8” flat washer on the threads followed by a 3/8”-16 nylok nut.
-
Install the sway bar in position in the car. The center of the bar should be to the front of the car. The outer arms of the sway barwill bend upward. Install a 3/8” flat washer on (4) 3/8”-16 x 1 1/4” hex bolts. A bolt/washer will go in each of the 4 mounting holes. With the bolt/washers installed, install a 3/8” flat washer on the threads followed by a 3/8”-16 nylok nut. Do NOT completely tighten the hardware. It will be left partially loose until the end links are installed.
-
Install the End Links using Diagram 8 as a reference.Insert the SMALL diameter of the 5/8” ID t-bushing into the stock sway bar hole of the lower control arm. A5/8” washer goes on the bottom side of the control arm. Tighten the end link barrel nut until it is flush with the end of the bolt, and then tighten it 2 more complete rounds.
-
Install a T-Bushing on each of the 90 degree end links. The t-bushings are installed with the large diameter against the shoulder of the end link.
-
Insert the 90 degree end link/t-bushing intothe swaybar end with the threads pointing toward the engine. Install a 2nd t-bushing with the small diameter into the swaybar. Install the nut and torque. Do this for both sides.
