Thank you for your purchase from our new line of Chrysler parts.

Please call us at (877) 4NO-ROLL if you have any questions

regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis Performance products.

Warning: This installation should be performed by a trained professional. The installation requires

lowering of the rear cradle from the vehicle for swaybar removal and reinstallation.

Tools Required for this Installation

- Hydraulic jack, jack stands, torque wrench (4 post lift or alignment rack preferable)

- The following sockets or wrenches: 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 16mm, 18mm, 21mm

INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT SWAY BAR

1) Secure the rear wheels with blocks and jack the front up. Support the front of the vehicle with jack
stands on the frame. Observe the stock sway bar orientation and position for reference.

Note: If you are using a 4 post lift or alignment rack, you do not have to jack the front up.

2) Remove the heat shields that cover the subframe mounts using a 10mm wrench or socket.

3) Remove the subframe mounts by unbolting 2 bolts per m ount using a 15mm socket. The Sway bar
should be hanging by it’s endlinks at this point. Retain all hardware and brackets for reinstallation.

4) Detach the endlinks from the sway bar using a 21mm wrench and a 10mm wrench.

5) Apply the provided grease to the new Hotchkis polyurethane bushings. Once greased, install the new
bushings onto your new Hotchkis sway bar.

6) Reinst all in the same manner as removal. Attach the endlinks to the sway bar. Do not tighten at this
time.

7) Install the subframe mounts back onto the vehicle. Fully tighten all hardware at this time (including the
endlink bolts!)

You are now finished with the front sway bar installation! Make sure that all hardware is fully tightened before

driving the vehicle. Let’s move on to the rear sway bar installation.

INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS REAR SWAY BAR

1) Secure the front wheels with blocks and jack the rear up until the rear wheels are off the ground.

Support the rear of the vehicle with jack stands on the factory jack points.

2) Remove the rear wheels using a 21mm socket.

3) Beg in removing the rear shocks by removing the lower nut and bolt using a 18mm wrench and 15mm
socket respectively. Remove the 2 upper shock bolts using a 16mm socket.

4) Pull back the plastic spl ash guard and remove the bolt that holds the brake line to the fr ame using a
10mm wrench or socket.

5) Next, you will need to drop the exhaust system for clearance. Unbolt the mid-brace removing the 4
bolts using a 13mm socket. Spray the rubber hangers in the picture with WD-40 and slide the rubber
hanger off the exhaust support. Unbolt the remaining r ear hangers using a 13mm socket. Be carefu l,
for the exhaust will drop down once these bolts are out.

6) Support the rear axle pumpkin housing with a jack. Try to use wood or a rubber pad to cushion the
contact point of the jack and housing. Remember the jack stands should still be supporting the rear of
the vehicle.

7) Once the axle is supported, you can unbolt the 4 bolts that secure the rear cradle to the frame using a
18mm socket.

8) Lower the jack that supports the axle about 4-5 inches. Make sure not lower it too much to avoid
damaging the rear brake hardline.

9) Detach the endlinks from the sway bar using 15mm wrench on the bolt side and 16mm wrench on the
nut side. Retain the hardware for reinstallation.

10) Unfasten the 2 bolts securing the subframe mounts using a 15 wrench. Retain the bolts for
reinstallation. You may discard the stock bushing brackets.

11) The bar should be free to come out. The only obstacle when removing the sway bar is the brake lines
may be in the way. If so, carefully push the bar around the brake lines.

12) Compare the stock bar to your new Hotchkis bar for orient ation purposes. Lube the bushings with the
provided grease and place them onto the bar.

13) Feed your new Hotchkis sway bar into the sway bar location in the same manner as removal. Make
sure the bar is oriented as shown in the picture. Place the provided bushings mounts over the bushings
and make sure the 90° zerk fittings are facing outboard. Fully tighten the stock bracket bolts.

14) Reattach the endlinks to the sway bar in the same manner as removal. Fully tighten all hardware

15) Once everything is in place, raise the rear axle into position. Do not raise all the way up! You will still
need some wiggle room to line up the cradle bolt holes. Start each bolt by hand to ensure proper
threading. Once thread started, fully tighten the cradle bolts using a 18mm socket.

14) Perform steps 1-6 in reverse order to finish the installation.

You are now finished with the rear sway bar installation! Make sure that all hardware is fully tightened before

driving the vehicle. Enjoy your new sport coil spring set!
