1. The front of the car needs to be up in the air with the wheels at static
ride height. This can easily be done by rolling the car up on ramps. If
you are not able to get the car up on ramps, you can jack up the car,
place it on jack stands using the OEM recommended locations, and then
jack up each wheel to static ride height. It is necessary to measure the
gap between the tire and wheel arch to make sure it is as close as
possible to static ride height in the air. Apply the parking brake and sift
your vehicle to park for an automatic transmission or 1st gear for a
manual transmission.
2. Remove the existing end links from both sides of the vehicle.
3. Install both SPL front end links into the control arm of the vehicle. Use
the tapered spacers supplied in this kit to make sure that the end link is
as close to perpendicular to the ground as possible. Tighten the nuts to
50 ft-lb.
4. Install one SPL end link into the sway bar. As shown in the images
below, make sure both rod ends are in the middle of their articulation,
and the end link is as close to perpendicular to the ground as possible.
When installing the new SPL end links, you should not have to apply any
force to the control arm or the sway bar to install the studs into either
end. If you do so, you are inducing preload into the sway bar, thus
limiting its ability to function as designed.

5. Install the other SPL end link into the sway bar. Adjust the length of this
end link so you do not have to apply any force to the sway bar or control
arm to install the stud. As shown in the images below, the stud should
line up well and slide through easily. If you are unable to achieve this,
change the length of the end link on the other side of the vehicle and try
again.
6. Tighten Jam Nut (3) to 30 ft-lb once the correct length has been
determined.
7. Once both sides of the sway bar are attached without any preload
induced into the system, tighten down both sides to 50 ft-lb.
Adjustments
The sway bar on your vehicle should be detached from the suspension
system any time you align your vehicle, especially if your vehicle is being
corner balanced. During an alignment, all the arms are moved around, and
their lengths are being changed. This can induce preload into your sway bar,
give you a false reading on your alignment, cause the car to turn more
precise in one direction than the other, and even cause the car to pull more
in one direction than the other. To detach the sway bar from the system,
just detach the end link on one side of the vehicle from the sway bar. Once
the alignment is done, reinstall that side in the same way as described in the
above instructions, taking special care to not induce preload into the system.
Make sure the alignment shop does this before aligning your vehicle. Take
these instructions with you to confirm that the end links are installed
correctly.
Be safe, and enjoy your new upgrade!
