Please Read Before Continuing

Hotchkis Tuning recommends that this sway bar set be installed by a professional, as the

front sway bar can only be removed or installed by detaching the front engine cradle and

lowering it from the vehicle! Please carefully review all steps of the installation instructions

before attempting installation.

INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT SWAY BAR

1) Securely block the rear wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to lift up the front of the vehicle and use jack

stands to support it. Do not remove the front wheels during installation for safety.

2) Use a 14mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench to remove the nuts holding the end links to the ends of the

stock sway bar. Remove the end links from the ends of the sway bar. Retain the hard ware for later

use.

5) Remove the front splashguard by removing a series of plastic fasteners and bolts. Use a 10mm socket or screwdriver to remove the bolts. Use a flat head screwdriver to undue the plastic fasterners. Retain all hardware for re-installation. 6) Next, remove the 2 bolts that secure the cradle bridge bracket to the radiator support. 7) Remove the 4 nuts that secure the steering rack to the cradle. It’s suggested that you use an impact wrench for easier removal.

8) With all the nuts & bolts removed the cradle should droop loosely enough to reach the sway bar mounted to the top rear portion of the cradle. Use a 14mm socket or wrench to loosen and remove the four bolts holding the stock sway bar in place. Remove the stock sway bar, bushings and brackets. Retain the stock bolts for re-installation. 9) With the stock sway bar removed, set your new Hotchkis bar next to it for reference and orientation.

Use the provided flat cut washers with the OEM bolts 11) Steps for reinstalling the cradle: 1 – Install the 2 rear cradle bolts. It might be difficult to start the bolt in the hole due to misalignment, so you will need to line up the cradle hole with the frame hole. Once aligned the bolt should thread easily. Do not force thread the bolts! They may cross thread if you do! This step takes patience and may require you to use pry bars, picks, or tranny jacks to align the cradle correctly.

3 – Install the 2 bolts that secure the cradle bridge bracket to the radiator support. Torque to 29 ft-lbs. 4 – Install the nuts & bolts to secure the lower engine mount to the cradle. Torque to 47 ft-lbs. 5 – Install the 4 nuts to secure the steering rack to the cradle. Torque to 45 ft-lbs. 6 – Reinstall the front splashguard in the same manner as removal. This will conclude the cradle reinstallation procedure.

12) Once the cradle is reinstalled, attach the end links to the sway bar and torque the nuts to 32 ft-lbs. For adjustable sway bar stiffness, refer to picture below. Important Note: Double check to make sure the power steering line is not in contact with the sway bar. If so, you can carefully bend the metal line away from the bar, which clearances the rubber hose from rubbing against the sway bar. 13) It’s a good idea to also check the power steering boot clip clearance for each side.

INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS REAR SWAY BAR 1) Securely block the front wheels of the vehicle. Use a jack to lift up the rear of the vehicle and support with jack stands. As with the front installation, you should not remove the rear wheels. 2) Remove the end link nuts that secure the sway bar to the end links using a 14mm wrench (and 6mm allen wrench if necessary). Retain this hardware for reinstallation. 3) Remove the nut and bolt for each side subframe mount using a 14mm socket.

5) With the stock sway bar removed, set your new Hotchkis bar next to it for reference and orientation. 6) Install your new Hotchkis sway bar in the same manner as the stock removal. Just to reiterate, the passenger side end of the bar will be fed up and over the exhaust pipe first. Then the bar can be positioned correctly. 7) Lube the inside hole of your new Hotchkis polyurethane bushings and install the bushings on to the bar.

8) Place the provided bushing bracket over the bushing and set the sway bar into it’s proper position. Install the provided nut and bolt & flat cut washer to secure the bracket to the frame of the vehicle. Note: Use Bushing prt # 5341 9) Lastly, secure the end links on to your new Hotchkis sway bar. Adjust your sway bar stiffness by selecting one of the 3 holes on the end of the bar. The hole closest to the end is the softest setting. 14) Re-check all hardware for tightness.
