Default Help -- T1 Swaybar Install

Now, I have my T1 Swaybar but I am missing the know-how on installing them. Does anyone know what the level of difficulty is or have any picture. Any advise would be greatly appreciated Frank

There are a bolt on item-just be sure to use the T-1 mounting brackets and insulators.Adjust the end links to stock length and oil well-make sure the stop nuts are tight after adjusting the length.You will need to re-tighten end links in a couple hundred miles.After car settles in couple days,make sure bar is not touching the A-arm.

Make sure you orient them like stock. They are shaped the same, only larger. Some people have managed to put them on upside down. As for the heims. You need the car to be on the ground and settled when you attach the links. If you, you can bind the suspension, causing the springs and bars to fight against each other.
