1. Place the bar in position on top of the axle with the dip up and the arms leading to the rear. On top of the axle towards the shoulder of the bar place the locking device and the plate which will now be between the axle and the bar. Place the bar bracket around the bar and on top of the plate. Pass the large U-bolt up from below the axle, through the holes in the plate and bar bracket and start the nuts. Be sure not to crush them. Pull the brake line away from the axle slightly if needed.

2. Place the D-bushing on the bar mid-section and slide it under the bar bracket. Adjust the position of the brackets and U-bolts about the axle so that they give you the best clearance to the shocks, the brake line "T", and the rear end breather, etc. It must also be positioned so it holds the bar in the most suitable position along the top part of the axle. The bolts and brackets need not be equally spaced along the axle on the two sides. Tighten the U-bolt nuts only enough to keep the assembly in position during the installation.

3. Assemble the end-links onto the bar eyes as illustrated. The bushings have their stepped edge toward the bracket and bar eye, and the cupped washers should face the bushings. Secure the nut only enough to keep the assembly snug.

4. Raise the bar arms so that frame brackets are against the frame bottom. Mark through the holes in the bracket for drilling. Be sure the car is resting on its springs when doing this. Drill the holes with a 3/8" drill bit with the same spacing as the square U-bolt.

5. Place a nut on one leg of the U-bolt and insert the other end into one hole and maneuver it until it reappears from the other hole. Pass it through one hole in the base plate and bracket and start another nut. Remove the first nut and place the other end of the base plate over the U-bolt leg, then replace the nut. Tighten the nuts to secure the U-bolt, the plate and the bracket.

6. Have someone bounce the rear of the car to check for clearance of all parts throughout the suspension travel distance. Tighten the nuts on the axle U-bolts to 10 ft/lbs. Test drive the car and accustom yourself to its new handling. As we cannot supervise your installation or your driving, we cannot beheld responsible for more than the cost of the kit.

NOTE: All nuts in this kit are lock-nuts and will have to be turned with a wrench all the way. For best balance and control this kit should be used in conjunction with the from bar.
