1. Remove factory front sway bar and end links. Keep the factory hardware since some of it will be reused.
2. Lubricate the insides of the D-shaped polyurethane bushings and place them on the Hellwig sway bar. Then place the U-plates over the bushings.
3. Assemble end links on lower control arm following the diagram and Photo 2 leaving off the final bush­ing, washer and nut.
4. Place the bar on the end links with arms going up.
5. Bolt the U-plates to the stock location using the factory bolts as shown in Photo 3. Leave loose at this time.
6. Place the final end link bushing and washer and tighten the lock nut until the donut bushings just start to bulge. Tightening this nut too much can cause damage to the bushings.
7. Make sure the bar is centered and torque the U-plate bolts.
8. Bounce the vehicle with the wheel turned full lock left and right checking for clearance on all under carriage components: fuel tank, shocks, exhaust, differential, brake and fuel lines, etc.
9. Test drive the vehicle and recheck all clearances and the installation alignment. Adjust as needed. Re­check your installation after one week of driving and periodically on a regular basis.
