STEP 01

Fit the upper joints

Support the raised vehicle and remove both original links. Hold a spinning stud with the 6mm hex key. Place a supplied washer on each new bolt, pass it through the link and add a spacer against the sway bar. Grease the bushing contact faces and retain with the original M12 locknut, initially loose.

STEP 02

Fit the lower joints

Use the same washer-link-spacer arrangement at each lower control arm, with the spacer touching the arm. Snug the joints and lower the car to check alignment. Add supplied washers where needed to reduce sideways bushing deflection.

STEP 03

Finish and service

Torque joints to 50–60 ft-lb, beginning at the sway bar and finishing at the arms. Check any new noise after the test drive. Regrease sleeves and bushing faces with the manufacturer-specified grease when necessary.
