SR Motorsports Rear Sway Bar

[Captain KRM P5]

Got the part, looks cool, yet lo and behold there are zero instructions. It came with a bundle of mounts and brackets so I'm not exactly gung-ho on just doing guesswork. Does anyone have an idea on how to install this badboy?

hi captain krm p5! i'm new to this board, so no laughing, o.k? hey, you were wondering how to install the rear sway bar. it's really not hard. the first thing you need to do is remove the old sway bar by removing the lower end links. leave the upper links at this time. next, remove center mounting bolts and remove rear sway bar. keep u-shaped brackets, as they will be re-installed. now remove upper links and rotate them so the link threads are pointing inward. they were pointing out before they were removed. install mounting bracket included in kit using there new hardware. next, mount sway bar using new bushings and original u-shaped brakets. be sure to grease any part where the bushing and bar meet or you will have a lot of noise. next, install lower end links to sway bar. you have two choices on mounting; inner mounting points are stiffer outer softer, so inner is preffered. make sure all bolt are tight before driving. hope this helps you out. sorry, no photos. peace!

to tell the truth it is really simple if you just look at a picture of the assembly. Get a good closeup picture of the MP3 rear sway bars, they are easy to pic out because they are powdercoated red. Just look at it, and it is very simple to see how it all goes together. Hard part is to get an MP3 to take a picture under it's rear skirt, you know how shy those guys are.

All finished, thanks for the instructions! It did take my brother and I an extra hour to complete though. We snapped the end links into place and got a bad feeling about it. We lowered the car and noticed that the back end sat about one foot higher into the air - we put the bar on backwards/upsides down so the axles were resting up against it!! Lucky the end links didn't snap. After swearing a great deal we removed the entire assembly and flipped it around. Seems to work great, nice and flat in the turns. While the car was up on jack stands we also discovered one of my neighbor's roofing nails in the tire - sigh.
