START WITH THE REAR BAR
1. Drive the vehicle onto a 4-post lift or floor ramps. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE AT NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT FOR PROPER INSTALLATION. You cannot have the suspension hanging while installing this bar!
2. Once vehicle is raised, take a moment and observe the stock rear bar and the way in which it is mounted.
3. Release rear exhaust hangers and middle hangers then let hang. (ok to use small amount of WD40 to loosen) Or, you may unbolt the hanger brackets using an extension and 13mm socket.
4. Remove the four bushing bracket nuts and bolts (13mm wrench) attaching the anti-roll bar brackets to the sub-frame and save.
5. Remove the two end link bolts and nuts (16mm wrench) which attach the bar ends to the end links and save them. To clear the shocks with the bolts, pull the bar towards the rear of the car.
6. As you begin to remove the bar, gently free each end from the end link. Now that the bar is free, slightly lower the exhaust by applying pressure to the tips just enough to remove the bar. (It will come out, be patient)
7. Repeat same pressure to the exhaust and position Hotchkis bar (without the bushings and brackets) in the stock location with the “HSport” sticker facing rearward, right side up.
8. Apply supplied grease to inner-channeled portion of both rear bushings. (approx. quarter tube per bushing; picture on next page) Then install the bushings to the bar at approx. the stock locations. Position the bar in the stock location then install the brackets over the bushings.
9. Re-install the end link bolts (using the supplied 10mm washers in between the nut and the end link head) and nuts and leave loose. Secure the bushing brackets, using the supplied 8mm washers in between the nuts and the slots of the bushing brackets. Tighten the four bracket bolts, then tighten the end link bolts.
