Default Sway Bar (Front) Installation

Ok guys its diy time I am going to tell you how to install an aftermarket front sway bar first things first you are going to need a 12mm wrench a 14mm wrench and a cheater bar and a beer for any job you need the proper tools ok the beer is not necessary but it helps

make sure your lower control arms have a hole in them (see pic)

lubricate urethane bushings and place on the sway bar
place sway bar in its place with the hump above exhaust and shift linkages

place aluminum spacer under bushing and the steel u shaped piece over the top of the bushing and bolt them in place on both sides longer bolt goes on the side that is thicker (pics 6 and 7)

put your tires back on and lower your car
