INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE
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 jack the engine up. Make sure to use a block of wood between the
jack and the engine to avoid damage.
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 Ba r 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.
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 Disconnect the Rear End Links
Disconnect the rear end links from the sway bar ends on each side.
Rear Sway Bar Installation
3R Detach the Sway Bar Bushing Brackets
The sway bar is attached by 2 bushing brackets, one on each side. Undo the 2 bolts per bracket to detach the
sway bar from the subframe. The bar should be loose from the vehicle. There is enough room to fish the bar
completely out without dropping the exhaust.
4R 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 bolt totaling 4 for the rear installation. Apply a small amount of lock threading
compound (included in your kit) on each bolt. Make sure to use the brackets that have the straight grease fitting
attached. Fully tighten the bracket hardware.
5R Reinstall the End Links
Insert the end links back into the sway bar ends and fully tighten the nuts using the supplied lock threading
compound.
6R Final Inspection
Before lowering the rear end back onto the ground, make sure all hardware is fully tightened. You are finished with
