*Pic coming soon*
16. It is necessary to use nuts to reinstall the factory sway bar, as the HPM sway bar mounting setup differs from the factory arms.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
* Unfortunately I failed to take any pics while replacing the upper control arms but will take some reference pics later.*
17. To replace the upper control arms, (with jack stands still in place) remove the mounting bolts and remove the control arm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
18. Position the arm into the upper mounting bracket (body side) and reinstall the mounting bolt. Do not tighten at this time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
19. Using the floor jack, raise the suspension until the upper arm-to-axle mounting hole is in alignment with the control arm bushing. Install the lower mounting bolt (axle side) with the nut facing inward, and torque to 70-100 ft-lbs. The upper mounting bolt should be torqued to 80-105 ft-lbs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
20. Remove jack stands and slowly lower the vehicle. There you have it, installation complete.
