Hotchkis HIGHLY recommends that this sway bar set be installed by a professional, as the front sway
bar can only be removed or installed by detaching the front subframe cradle and lowering it from the
vehicle!
INSTALLATION OF Hotchkis FRONT SWAY BAR
» Drive the vehicle on a 4-post lift. Securely block the rear wheels of the vehicle. Use jack to lift up the
front of the vehicle. Do not remove the front wheels during installation for safety.
» Remove plastic splashguard underneath the engine.
» Take a minute and observe underneath the front of the vehicle. The front sway bar is inconveniently
located in between the subframe cradle and engine. In order to remove the front sway bar, you will be
required to detach the front subframe cradle from the chassis. The subframe does NOT support the
engine, so you don’t have to worry about the engine falling on you once the subframe is loose.
