"A" = Endlinks (P/N: 4626766) "B" = Brackets (Left 4626765 & Right 4626764) "C" = (2) m10x1.5x60 (Hardware Store) "D" = (2) m10x1.5x65 (Hardware Store)"E" = Bushings (P/N: 4626767) "F" = Clamps (Left 4626769 & Right 4626768) "G" = (2) m12x1.5x40 (P/N: 6502810)
1. Loosen the lug nuts and put the rear of the car on jackstands. Remove the wheels. Remove the (2) nuts that hold the strut to the knuckle, but leave the bolts there. Put the bracket on over the bolts and put the nuts back on as shown in the pics.
2. Next, install the endlinks to the brackets using the m10x1.5x55 bolts. Don't tighten anything down, just keep it loose until everything is put together.
3. Put a good amount of anti-seize on the bushings and put them on the RSB w/ the split facing the rear of the car and attach it to the frame of the car with the clamps to hold it in place.
4. There are (2) holes for a total of (3) settings you can use on the Mopar 22mm RSB. One is for stiff, one is for soft and one of each is a medium, in between setting. Most people use the soft setting and the medium setting is not recommended as it puts an uneven load on the rear end. Attach the swaybar ends to the endlinks.
5. Set the car down on ramps or on the ground (if you're skinny enough) and crawl underneath to tighten everything down.
