Note
On this model Sway bar our sway bar links will usually mount on the
inside/engine side of the Sway bar, and the outside/tire side of the axle
mounts. Ultimately the goal is to have the Sway bar Links be as vertical as
possible when mounted, and there are mount variations at times, so do not
worry if the links end up being mounted in different positions than noted.
Installing Sway Bar
- The swaybar will mount with the “THUREN” logo upright.
- Flex the Sway bar frame mount bushings to split them open, slip over the bar, and then slide the stainless mounting bracket over the bushings.
- Lift Sway Bar into position and hand tighten frame mount hardware.
- Using the slots in the frame mounts, center the sway bar side to side between the frame rails. There is not much side to side clearance so pay attention here.
- The Urethane frame pivot bushings keep the sway bar from shifting side to side, but there should still be a small gap between the bar-stops to allow 1/16″ of side side to side play.
- Torque frame mount hardware to 45 Ft/Lbs.
Install End Links
- Ensure the Sway Bar End Links Sleeve Flange is against the Sway Bar and Axle mounting surface.
- Install Sway Bar End Links, make sure you can access the grease fittings.
- Once everything is centered, torque End Link mounting hardware to 100 Ft/Lbs.
