Front Sway Bar Installation
1. Remove the inner camber link screws and upper shock mount
screws. Move the camber links and shocks out of the way (toward
the wheels) (Fig. 1, 2. 3).
2. Install the front arm mount on the front suspension arm with the
ball facing the rear of the vehicle. Secure to the arm with a 2.5x6 CS
(Fig. 4). Repeat for the other side.
3. Snap a hollow ball into the top of the front link (Fig. 5). The link is
symmetrical; the hollow ball can be installed into either end.
Note: The "F" molded into the front link indicates that this link is
to be used on the front of the vehicle only.
4. Snap the link onto the arm mount with the hollow ball adjustment
collar facing the front of the vehicle (Fig. 6).
5. Install a sway bar. Set the sway bar into the groove located on the
differential cover (Fig. 7).
6. Secure the sway bar to the differential cover using 3x6 BCS (2)
(Fig. 8). Thread the screws into the holes until they touch the bar,
and then back off slightly.
Important: The sway bar must rotate freely and not bind.
7. Slide the adjustment collar of the hollow balls onto either end of the
sway bar (Fig. 8).
8. Install 3x3 GS (2) in the adjustment collars of the hollow balls to
secure the front links to the sway bar (Fig. 9).
Important: Make sure that the exposed portion of the bar is the
same on the left and right sides.
9. Re-install the camber links and shocks.
10. Confirm that the front links, hollow balls, and sway bar are not
touching any other suspension components and are free to move.
Rear Sway Bar Installation
1. Remove the inner camber link screws and upper shock mount
screws. Move the camber links and shocks out of the way (toward
the wheels) (Fig. 10, 11, 12).
2. Install the rear arm mounts on the rear suspension arms with the
ball facing the front and outside of the vehicle. Note: The arm
mounts are labeled "RL" for the left side (driver side) and "RR" for
the right side (passenger side). The mounts must be installed in the
correct location for proper functioning of the rear sway bar. Secure
to the arms with 2.5x6 CS (2) (Fig. 13).
