Competition Sway Bar Kit 22110

2010-up Chevy Camaro

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

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

Regarding the service or installation of your Hotchkis Performance products.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORESTARTING THIS INSTALLATION.

Attention 2012+ Owners: Read First

GM is in the transition stages of changing the rear suspension design. If your car is equipped with the sway bar design
pictured on the left, you will be required to purchase new end links for the rear sway bar since the 2012 OE sway bar
connects to the lower control arm differently. New adjustable rear end links are available through Hotchkis (part # 25109R).
Front endlinks are also available. Visit us at hotchkis.net for more details.

Note: End links are already included in 22110 competition sway bar kit and will not need to be purchased
separately.

Front Sway Bar Installation

1F Raise the Vehicle

Raise front of the vehicle using a floor jack and place jack stands in the proper jacking points. Securely block the
rear wheels of the vehicle.

2F Remove the Driver Side Front Wheel

The front bar will sneak it’s way out towards the driver side. Remove the driver side front wheel to gain more
clearance for installation.

3F Disconnect the Front End Links

Disconnect the front end links from the sway bar ends on each side.

4F Detach the Sway Bar Bushing Brackets

Just above the front subframe, the sway bar is attached by 2 bushing brackets, one on each side. Undo the 2 nuts
per bracket to detach the sway bar from the subframe.

5F Raise the Engine

You will need more room to get the sway bar out from between the subframe and the engine. To do this, unbolt the
2 motor mounts attached to the subframe and raise the engine up. Make sure to use a block of wood between the
jack and the engine to avoid damage. Do not raise the engine too far or you may cause the power steering line to
pop off.

6F Remove Stock Bar

Fish the stock bar towards the driver side until it’s completely out. If you need more clearance, carefully raise the
engine more until the bar can be removed.

7F Reinstall the Hotchkis Sway Bar

Reinstall the Hotchkis Sway Bar in the same manner as stock removal. Your kit comes with new bushings and
brackets. Apply the provided silicone grease in the inside area of each bushing. Install the bushings onto the bar.
When reinstalling the stock bushing bracket nuts, please use the provided washers from your hardware kit. You
should use one washer for each nut totaling 4 for the front installation. Apply a small amount of lock threading
compound (included in your kit) on each nut. Make sure to use the brackets that have the 90° grease fitting
attached. You may choose to point the fitting towards the outside or inside depending on which direction is easiest
for you to regrease in the future.

8F Reinstall the End Links

Lower the engine down and fully tighten the motor mount nuts completely. Insert the end links back into the sway
bar ends and fully tighten the nuts using the supplied lock threading compound.

9F

Final Inspection

Before lowering the front end back onto the ground, make sure all hardware is fully tightened. You are finished with
the front Hotchkis Sway Bar installation. Let’s move on to the rear bar.

Rear Sway Bar Installation

2012-up Models: For 2012-up models, the OE rear sway bar connects to the lower control arm differently compared

to the 2010-11 models. However, since the lower control arm still has provisions for the previous
version end links we can mount the Hotchkis sway bar in the manner shown in this manual.

2012-up Models 2010-11 Models

1R Raise the Vehicle

Raise rear of the vehicle by driving the rear of the vehicle onto floor ramps. You may use floor jacks to jack up the
rear of the car, but the installation is easier with the suspension at ride height. Once the rear of the vehicle is
accessible, securely block the front wheels of the vehicle.

2R

3R Detach the Sway Bar Bushing Brackets
