Chrysler Magnum, Charger, 300C, SRT-8 Anti-roll Bar Set Installation

1) Secure the rear wheels with blocks and jack the front up. Support the front of the vehicle with jack stands on the frame. Observe the stock sway bar orientation and position for reference.
Note: If you are using a 4 post lift or alignment rack, you do not have to jack the front up.
2) Remove the heat shields that cover the subframe mounts using a 10mm wrench or socket.
3) Remove the subframe mounts by unbolting 2 bolts per mount using a 15mm socket. The Sway bar should be hanging by it’s endlinks at this point. Retain all hardware and brackets for reinstallation.
4) Detach the endlinks from the sway bar using a 21mm wrench and a 10mm wrench.
5) Apply a healthy amount of the provided grease to the new Hotchkis polyurethane bushings. One pack per bushing should be used. Your kit comes with 5 packs of grease (2 for front, 1 for rear, 2 for front after 6-12 months). Your front bushings will need to be maintained with grease every 6-12 months depending on your driving conditions. We include 2 extra packs for this purpose. Once greased, install the new bushings onto your new Hotchkis sway bar.
6) Reinstall in the same manner as removal. Attach the endlinks to the sway bar. Do not tighten at this time.
7) Install the subframe mounts back onto the vehicle. Fully tighten all hardware at this time (including the endlink bolts!)
