INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7651 Rear Stabilizer Bar
Thank you for purchasing a quality Hellwig Product.
PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION
TORQUE TABLE
BOLT SIZE: 3/8” = 20-30 ft. lbs. – 7/16” = 35-45 ft. lbs. – ½” = 50-70 ft. lbs. – 9/16” = 70-90 ft. lbs.
SAFETY: BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION, BE SURE TO SET PARKING BRAKE AND CHOCK TIRES.
NOTE: TO EASE INSTALLATION AND TO PROPERLY ADJUST BAR, THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE MUST BE
ON THE SUSPENSION, AS IF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DO NOT RAISE VEHICLE BY FRAME.
NOTE: THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO MOUNT TO THE REAR OF THE AXLE TUBES WITH THE ARMS OF THE BAR
TOWARD THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE HUMP SHOULD TILT SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD.
1. Lubricate D-shaped poly-bushings and place them onto straight areas of the bar on each side of center hump. After installing D-bushings
onto bar, place U-plates on D-bushings.
2. Hold bar up to axle and locate the position on the axle tubes to mount U-bolts. When installing U-bolts, be sure to put U-bolts under
any brake lines, wires or hoses on the axle to avoid any possible damage.
3. Place saddle brackets on axle by inserting legs of U-bolts into the holes in saddle brackets. Raise bar and place D-bushings on saddle
brackets by inserting legs of U-bolts through holes in U-plates. Install flat washers and nuts provided on U-bolts. LEAVE LOOSE AT
THIS TIME to allow for adjustment later.
4. Locate existing spare tire crossmember on vehicle frame. Place square U-bolt over frame rail just behind crossmember with legs of Ubolt pointing downward. If equipped with resonator, it may be necessary to move U-bolts back 1” to allow end link clearance to
resonator.

5. Insert legs of U-bolt into slotted holes of the 3-hole plate. Install 3-hole plate with third hole inboard of frame rail and toward front of
vehicle. The welded spacer tab on the 3-hole plate must contact the bottom of the frame. When installed properly, the 3-hole plate will
contact the bottom of the crossmember with the welded tab contacting the frame rail. Install washers and nuts provided. LEAVE
LOOSE for adjustment later. On some models, the rear portion of the crossmember does not extend under the frame causing the plate to
rest at an angle due to the spacer tab. On these models, flip the plates over so that the spacer tab is exposed and swap the plates side to
side to install as shown in photo.
6. Install spacer tube on 7/16” X 12” threaded rod. Place a washer and poly bushing on each end of spacer tube and insert end of rod
through end-link hole in 3-hole plate. Then install poly bushing, washer and locknut on each end of rod as shown in picture.
7. With sway bar loosely mounted, work bar back and forth in D-shaped poly bushing to center bar. Tighten frame U-bolts to the torque
spec in torque table.
8. Tighten end link nuts until poly bushings start to bulge slightly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
9. Tighten axle U-bolts to 50 ft-lb. Place second nut on U-bolt and tighten against primary nut to lock in place.
10. Recheck your installation, looking for clearance on any undercarriage components, such as gas lines, exhaust pipes, brake lines, wiring,
etc.
11. Drive vehicle for a few miles, then recheck for position and tightness, readjust and retorque as needed. Then recheck periodically
thereafter.
