98-01 Toyota Corolla Sport Sway Bar Set Installation

INSTALLATION OF HOTCHKIS FRONT SWAY BAR
1.) Please look at the original front antiroll bar and note the orientation of the front bar. You will want to install the new Hotchkis bar in the same manner.
2.) Use a 14mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench to remove the nuts holding the end links to the ends of the stock sway bar. Remove the end links from the ends of the sway bar. Retain the hard ware for later use.
3.) Remove the cross piece from the sway bar mount on each side using a 19mm wrench or socket.
4.) Using a 12mm socket or wrench remove one the three mounting brackets.
5.) Remove the two mounting bolts using a 19mm socket or wrench and remove the bracket.
6.) Now you’re ready to remove the front sway bar.
7.) Place the new Hotchkis Tuning mounting plates using the stock hardware.
8.) Grease the bushings with the provided grease and place them on the bar followed by the brackets.

10.)Using the provided hardware mount the brackets to the mounting plates and tighten.
11.) Reinstall the stock cross brace and your done! Double-check and make sure everything that you touched is tight. Now get ready for the rear.
REAR BAR INSTALLATION
1.) Look at the current location of the stock bar. This is a difficult installation. If you’re not familiar with working on cars, we suggest you go to a trained professional. NOTE: Gas tank should be close to empty.
2.) First disconnect the end links. Using 16mm wrench and 4mm allen remove the nut that connects the end link to the stock sway bar.
