9. Install a cup washer and grommet at the top of the end
link bolt.
Install a cup washer on the link bolt so that the inside of the
washer is away from the shoulder of the link bolt. Install a
grommet next to the cup washer. Repeat this step for the
other end link.
10. Install the sway bar assembly
First, install the saddle brackets and split bushings:
Lubricate the inside of the split bushings and install on the sway bar
near the arms (Figure 3). Slide the saddle brackets over the split
bushings.
11. Next install the sway bar assembly to the frame mount
brackets.
Lift the sway bar and rest the ends on the grommets at the top of the
end links. Align the holes of the saddle brackets with the studs of the
mount bracket on the vehicle frame. Install the washers and nuts
on the studs. Tighten the nuts to 75 ft.-lbs.
12. Then install the top grommets, washers and nuts.
Put a grommet and cup washer on top of the sway bar at the end
links. The inside of the cup washer must be toward the grommet.
Hold the link bolt and tighten the nuts so that the grommets just
start to change shape (Figure 4).
WARNING
Over-tightening the grommets may cause premature failure of the
grommets and/or the end links. If the grommets fail, the sway bar will
not stabilize the vehicle at full capacity, which may cause reduced
cornering ability or other reductions in vehicle handling or
performance.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage,
personal injury or even death.
