How to mount a front sway bar on cars
that
don`t have the mounting tabs

get the frame
brackets from a donor car or
from a part store (be sure
to measure wich size
of sway bar you got)
Get
one end link kit (rubber grommets and acc.)
get
two 3/8 rod ends (heim joints)
get two 3/8 bolts
(not sure of lenght)
get six 3/8 nuts
get two
3/8 bolts (1 1/2 inch long)

Mount the bar to
the car whit the frame brackets
center it
for
the end links;
when the bar is tightened on the
frame
make sure part of the bar thta`s bolting to
the
a-arm is level (front to rear)
slip in this
order
bolt,washer,rubber,bar,rubber,washer,sleeve
now tightned every tight whit the extra 3/8

nut,
Instal the rod end
mark the location where to drill
the a-arm
drill the hole
instal in this
order;
1 1/2 long bolt,rod end,3/8
nut,a-arm,nut
tightned every thing

ENJOY!

BTW it`s a good
idea to weld a piece of 1/8
thick plate or washer
to the back side of
the a-arm, it will make the
area where you
drilled a whole lot
sturdier
