6 • Ford F-53 V10 Rear Anti-Sway Bar Kit
Attach the shackle hanger brackets.
Using the provided bolts (350158-00) and nuts (350263-00), attach
the hanger bracket to the top of the shackle.
Locate the shackle bracket mounting points.
Rotate the bar up and hold the shackle bracket against the bottom of
the frame rail. The location is correct when the shackle is straight up
and down with the vehicle at the normal ride height. Mark the location
of the holes in the frame rail. Check inside the frame rail for wires,
lines, etc., before drilling. Drill pilot holes and then final size. Attach
brackets with bolts, washers and nuts provided (Figure 4).
Finally, tighten the shackles.
Tighten both upper and lower bolts now to 30-45 ft.-lbs. Recheck all
fasteners for proper torque (Figure 4).
Test drive and re-inspect installation.
Listen for any unusual noises.

INSTALLATION
WARNING
Over-tightening the grommets may cause premature failure of the grommets and /or the end links. If the grommets fail,
the anti-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 cause property damage, personal injury or even death.
Figure 4
Do not tow or hoist the vehicle using the anti-sway bar or its
mounting brackets as attachment points. The anti-sway bar is not
designed to carry the weight of the vehicle and may collapse, which
will damage the anti-sway bar components, the suspension, or
other components. The vehicle will detach or fall, which may cause
severe personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property
damage, personal injury or even death.
The anti-sway bar is not a load-bearing component
WARNING
After road testing, re-check all fasteners for proper tightness
— if a fastener has worked loose or fallen off, re-tighten or
replace it.
Without all kit components properly tightened or in place,
the anti-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.
