Installing New Hotchkis Anti-Roll Bar
7F. Here’s the fun part. The Hotchkis bar has a larger
tube diameter, so installing it may take some patience.
Please follow the pictures below. They should show you
a step-by-step way to install the bar.

At this point the sway bar will need a little force to get
into position. Take your trusty dead blow hammer and hit
the anti-roll bar end as shown in the picture below. It
won’t take too much to pop it into place.

Once the anti-roll bar end is above the lower control arm,
you can easily slide it into position.

8F. Once the bar is in place, install the new endlinks but
do not tighten them completely.
9F. Using the included white silicon grease, lube the
inside of the new 1 ¼” front bushings. NOTE: the
grease can be cleaned up with WD-40
10F. Install the bushing on the new Hotchkis bar. Make sure
the split on the bushing faces the front when the bar
is installed in the vehicle. Look at the placement of
the original stock bushings on the stock bar for
guidance.

11F. Place the greasable bracket over top the bushing and
secure them with the stock bolts. You may fully
tighten these bolts at this time.
12F. It is best to tighten the endlinks with the suspension
at ride height. To achieve this, simply reinstall the
wheels and drive the car onto some floor ramps. These
can be found at your local auto store. Now, with the
car at ride height and on the floor ramps you can crawl
underneath the car and fully tighten the endlinks.
Tighten the endlinks until the bushings are squeezed
just enough that their diameter is just larger than the
supporting washer.
