The front sway bar came in last week (late Christmas present due to out-of-stock) and I went to put it on. It is much bigger in diameter than the factory piece. There were no instructions. I looked online and Hotchkis had a PDF for installing their sway bar.
The new bar is wider and the bracket to mount it to the frame did not line up with the factory threaded holes. The Hotchkis instructions said to use the front hole and drill a new hole for the rear mounting hole.
When I installed the bar and lined everything up. the retainer butted up against the spring pocket on the frame and I could not mount the bar as per the instructions. I had to use the factory rear hole and drill a new hole for the front mount. I hope this does not come back to bite me later.
I flipped the subframe to make it easier to access everything.
The last item to address is the steering box. I'll have the new one next week,
