time to allow for adjustment later).

Tap the holes so that you can complete your sway bar installation.

4. Tighten the frame bolts to manufacturer specification.
5. Bounce the vehicle and check for clearance on all undercarriage components. Turn the front wheel full lock left and then right. Make sure that at least (1/2”) clearance is maintained between the swaybar and all steering linkage as well as the front tires. Be sure that all the nuts and bolts are securely fastened.
6. Recheck your installation, check for clearance to steering components, wires, exhaust pipes, fuel and brake lines etc.. After one week of driving recheck your installation and on a monthly basis thereafter.
