1. Place U-bolts over the axle tubes as shown in photos (2) and (3).
2. Lubricate D-bushings a nd place on flat areas of the bar to line up with the U-bolts.
3. Place saddle brackets over the legs of the U-bolts and attach sway bar to axle using the U-plates and 1/2” locknuts and flat
washers. See photos (2) & (3). Leave loose for adjustment later.
4. Attach end links to angle bracket and sway bar as shown in photo (4). Rotate sway bar into position and align upper hole in
angle bracket with existing hole in frame as shown in photo (4). Make sure that end links are oriented as shown in photo and
not at a severe angle. Due to model variations a 1/2” diameter hole may need to be drilled in the frame to allow correct
alignment of bracket. See photo (5). Some models may have an existing hole which will line up with the hole in the angle
that can be enlarged to 1/2” diameter. Others will not have a hole in the correct loacation and will require drilling a new
1/2” diameter hole. Make sure to protect the fuel tank and brake, fuel and electrical lines before performing
any drilling on frame rail. Confirm location of hole BEFORE drilling any holes in frame rail.
