Step #1. Loosen the lug nuts on both front wheels. Raise the car and secure on jack
stands behind A-arms where frame starts to straighten out. NOTE: Make sure the tie rod,
end-sleeve clamps and bolts do not rest against the jack stands. Remove both wheels.

Step #2. Loosen the end-links from both sides and remove the frame brackets. For
ease of removal of factory bar, remove the driver's side shock to feed bar through the coil
springs. Be sure, before moving steering wheel, that the bolts on tie rod, the end-sleeve
clamps will not strike the jack stand. Loosen the bolt and nut and rotate the clamps only
(not the sleeve) to clear the jack stand. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and
pull the factory bar out from passenger's side of the car.

Step #3. Feed the anti-sway bar with arms pointing toward the front of the car
through the spring and set the anti-sway bar arm just past the centerpiece. Next, looking
from passenger's side of car, twist anti-sway bar arm clockwise so arms point down and to
the rear of the car.

Step #4. While lying under front of car, feed anti-sway bar until it strikes driver's side
lower A-arm. The forged end of anti-sway bar should be just underneath driver's side Aarm
at this point. In order to put anti-sway bar arm on top of driver's side A-arm, twist
the anti-sway bar counter-clockwise and pull it tight against front cross-member. While
lying under the driver's side A-arm, twist the bar to put the forges up. This will enable you
to put anti-sway bar arm on top of A-arm.

Step #5. Once the anti-sway bar arm is on top of the driver's side A-arm, remove the
rubber snubber on the driver's side lower A-arm. This will enable you to put the bar in
place. Note: On some models, the snubber is on the rear of the A-arm and is not a
problem.

Step #6. Put the D-bushings on the bar mid-section, and then bolt the frame brackets
to the frame. Do not tighten the frame bracket bolt all the way. Assemble the end-links to
the A-arms and the bar eye forge. Do not tighten the nut yet. Next, center anti-sway bar so
that there is equal clearance on both sides between anti-sway bar arm and frame, then
tighten frame brackets.

Step #7. Replace the rubber snubber (if removed) and the shock. Straighten the
steering wheel, and replace the wheel and the lug nuts. Remove the jack stands and set the
car on the pavement. Tighten the lug nuts and tighten the end-links.
