Front Suspension Assembly
This is basically the reverse of the disassembly, but different in certain areas with the new parts.
Front Sway Bar[FONT="] – the BMR SB016 is a bigger dog than stock and a challenge to install with the 3 hole flange on the ends, but not impossible to fish back into the Passenger Side and out the Driver Side. Again, I cannot jack up my engine with a Whipple which would have made it much easier. You just keep twisting it around until it clears the Power Steering Lines, and I did “bend” the one in the Pic up ever so slightly for clearance, and then bent it back down w/o damage. The Saddle bushings get lubed up, slap on the Saddle over it, and install it over the 15 mm Studs OUTSIDE OF THE FLANGE ON THE BAR. Put on the Washers, reuse the 15mm Nuts with some Blue LT, and center the Saddle Bracket cause the slots give a good deal of fore/aft and a little side to side play. I found using a stubby ½ drive ratchet with a flex head and 15mm socket helped get the initial torque, and then used a torque wrench to tighten the (2) 15mm Saddle Nuts on both sides to 13 ft lbs. Pump some grease into the fittings, and move the Bar around to ensure it does not bind. Nice looking bar!
