Re: New BontragerWorks Rear Swaybar For My SVX

Ok, so now onto the install.
We put the car up on ramps and removed the original rear swaybar:




This is what it looks like with the bar removed.
Drivers Side:
You can see the factory mount bracket still held on by its top bolt in this picture, we bent it out of the way and pulled the bar out (after the bar was out of the way we remove the brackets):

Passenger Side:


We then loosely mounted the new swaybar by the new mount bushings to the original location.

We decided that since the nuts were on the top on the factory brackets that we would install the new ones the same way.
Nevins writeup does it the other way, not sure if it makes a difference.
I think it would have been easier to get the nuts on with them on the back like Nevin did, since you can see what your doing.


Once we had the new bar held in place loosely by the bushings, we moved onto the endlinks.

We loosely attached the endlink, bolt, washers, and nut to the swaybar's end on the Drivers side:


Then we loosely attached the endlink, bolt, washers, and nut to the hub end on the Drivers side:


At this point everything on the drivers side is on, just not tight:
