FRONT SWAY BAR INSTALLATION

SB016 – 2010-2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO

NOTE: Due to the elevated height necessary for removing and installing the sway bar on this particular application, it is
recommended to perform this installation on a 2 post service lift to get adequate height.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS:

10mm, 15mm, 18mm wrench 3/8” drive ratchet w/13mm socket 6mm Allen wrench

INSTALLATION:

1. Lift vehicle and remove both front wheels/tires.

2. If you do not have a ZL1, skip this step and proceed to step 3. On the ZL1,

you will need to remove the plastic panel that covers the bottom of the engine
compartment. Remove the 14 bolts using a 10mm socket then remove the
panel to gain access to the sway bar.

3. Using a 15mm wrench (18mm for the 2012-newer), remove the nuts on the

outer sway bar links. (IMAGE 1)

4. Access the frame mounts through the wheel wells as shown. Using a 13mm

socket, remove the two bolts that retain the mounting bushings. (IMAGE 2)

5. Using an 18mm socket, loosen the (2) motor mount nuts as shown in IMAGE

3. Place a block of wood under the oil pan and lift the motor approximately 2
inches to make room for the sway bar removal.

6. Begin working the sway bar out by rotating it up and

around the tie rod on the drivers’ side of the car,
pushing and rotating the bar towards the passenger side.
The sway bar can be pulled through from the passenger
side by rotating and twisting it around any obstacles. In
order to get the sway bar completely out, the bar must
be rotated downward in the last step. (IMAGE 4)

7. Begin sliding the BMR sway bar in from the

passenger side the same way the OE bar was removed.
Rotate and slide the bar in a spiral pattern until it gets
to the drivers side. (IMAGE 5)

8. Grease the inside of the BMR polyurethane bushings.

Position the bushings over the straight section of the
sway bar. The bushings go to the outside of the
welded thrust washers on the sway bar.

9. Place the provided bushing saddle over the

polyurethane bushings and thread the OE nuts into
place. Tighten.

10. Connect the outer end links to the sway bar and

tighten.

11. Lower the engine and re-tighten the mounting nuts.

12. Grease the fittings on the sway bar mounting bushings until grease is visible protruding from the bushing.

13. If you have a ZL1, re-install the underbody plastic covers.

14. Re-install wheels, tires and lower vehicle.
