Title: Suspension Techniques Front Sway Bar Install ??
Post by: badboypolar on November 20, 2007, 11:11:50 PM

I am wondering how do I install the front suspension techniques sway bar? There is that tab on the front sub frame and the suspension techniques sway bar has that flat bracket.

Should I cut out the tab on the sub frame?

What about the bolt holes? There are two bolt holes and only one bolt hole on the sub frame. So where on the bottom of that sub frame do I bolt all that too?

Could you take some pics? It is hard to explain that stuff and even harder to understand it on the other end... ;)

Here is the stock mount area.

Here is the new mount on the stock area. What am I missing here, besides the instructions which nobody happens to have.

well one side uses the stock sway bolt and the other used the subframe bolt. I think i either cut the tab off or smashed it into the subframe. you are probably going to want to get a slightly longer bolt for the subframe i got a grade 10.8 from bolt depot
