INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this anti-sway bar kit. This kit is designed to improve the handling characteristics of your Sprinter 3500
by reducing the body roll and balancing the weight transfer during cornering. The anti-sway bar kit is engineered for long life
and trouble-free performance. For maximum suspension control, use this kit along with our front anti-sway bar kit.
All the hardware needed for installation is included in this kit. Refer to the PARTS LIST in these instructions to identify the parts.
SUGGESTED TOOLS
The following tools are suggested to complete the installation procedures:
• General hand tools
WARNING
• If raising the vehicle to install the anti-sway bar, always support
the vehicle with jack stands at both frame rails or at the rear axle
before working underneath. Ensure that the jack stands are securely
positioned, and are rated at or above the weight of the vehicle.
•The installer must read the instructions and use all bolts and parts
supplied. Use only the parts supplied by ROADMASTER to install
this kit.
• Minor modifications are sometimes necessary due to slight vehicle
variations, even for the same year, make and model.
• Regardless of year, make and model, a wide range of options for
specific applications may or may not interfere with the installation.
It is the installer's responsibility to make certain that equipment is
not damaged once the suspension solution travels through the full
range of motion. Failure to ensure adequate clearance could result
in non-warranty property damage, personal injury or even death.
