INSTRUCTIONS
1. Begin by jacking up the rear of the car until the rear wheels are off the ground and support the car with jack stands. Block the front wheels.
2. Remove the factory rear end links.
3. Remove the factory rear sway bar bushings and shells and then remove the factory rear sway bar.
4. Lubricate the poly bushings with grease and install on to the Spohn rear sway bar. Place the supplied black powder coated 3/8” thick sp acer p la te s over the sw ay bar bus hing mounts on the sub frame. These are used to provide proper clearance for the shaft collars we will be installing. Install the bushing shell over each bushing and install o n top of the spac er plate s , use the supplied longer mounting bolts making them hand tig ht only .
5. Install our Extreme Duty end links to the rear lower control arm connection and fully tig hten, then install the top to the sway bar hand tight only. Note: Our rear sway bar has thr e e end link mounting holes to choose from. This allows you to tune your rear sway b ar’ s roll stif fness with the rearward hole being the stiffest setting and the fro nt most hole being the loo s est setting .
6. Take several measurements on each side of the car and make sure the sway bar is centered from side to side. Once the sway bar is centered fully tighten the four bolts on the sway bar bushings and then fully tighten the end link connections .
7. On the inboard side of each poly bushing install the two piece bolt toge the r shaft co llars. This will lock in the sway bar’s lateral positioning and prev e nt any side to s ide movement.
8. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
9. Now we’re going to adjust the sway bar and set it with the proper pre-load. Plac e the jack under the front of the car, make sure the jack is perfectly centered on the fro nt cross m emb er. Jack the front of the car in the air until the front tires are BARELY
10. Check your rear tire pressures and make sure you have the exact same pressure in both rear tires. Set your rear tire pressure to whatever psi yo u run them at when racing at the tr ack.
11. Whoever will be driving this vehicle now need s to sit in the dri ver’s seat of the car, shut the driver’s door. (Simulate driving the car).
12. Measure from the lower rear corner of both the driver’s and pass e nger’s side door jam to the ground (car should be on a level surface, ie. cement). We’re looking to have the driver’s side 1/16” lower than the passenger’s side .
13. Adjust the passenger’s side end link (by le ngthening or shortening) until you achieve the above setting. Tighten the jam nut and re-check your dimensions. Once you have the adjustment properly set, tighten the mounting bolt and nut. No te : We recom mend using removable strength Loctite on the threads to keep the jam nut tight on a street driven car.
off of the ground, stop there.
