Remove the nut clips from the sway bar and slip them over the holes on the tabs of 
the new trailing arms with the threads towards inside of vehicle. Install sway bar onto 
trailing arms with the ends on the outer sides of the tabs. 

 

10)

 

Raise the rearend assembly, reinstall the lower shock mounting bolts and the Quad-
Shock mounts (if required). Reinstall the rear wheels. Road test and recheck all bolts 
after driving a few miles. 

 

Note – 

1983 to 1985 vehicles with the original anti-hop / slapper bars will require 

removal of these bars, however, due to the increased rearend stability accomplished by 
these trailing arms, traction and anti-hop ability will not suffer. For this same reason, 
Quad – Shocks may also be safely removed from cars so equipped for increased tire 
clearance.
