1. Remove the front factory sway bar end links by unbolting them from the sway bar and the axle bracket.
2. Remove end link bolt from axle brackets. Penetrating fluid may be necessary if the bolt is rusty. The new
end link pin will occupy the mounting hole in the axle brackets.
3. Assemble end links together as shown in Photo 3 and the diagram below. The heim joint will be threaded
into the end link with a jam nut. Lubricate the outside of the hourglass bushing and tap it into the hoop on
the end link. Leave loose at this time for later adjustment.
4. Loosely attach the rod end to the sway bar using the 7/16” bolt, washers and stover lock nut.
