ADD PIVOTS
Place the aluminum #8830 anti-roll bar

Place the anti-roll bar into the grooves
of the lower transmission case and
secure using two #9146 2-56 x 3/16"
screws. Do not overtighten; the roll bar
should move up and down freely.
Front Rear
Attach the open cup side of the linkages to
the antiroll bar.
Make sure your car is ready to run without
the body installed.
Drop your car from about 2" high onto a flat
surface.
Without moving the suspension, adjust the
link so it aligns with the balls exactly, then
snap it onto the balls with your needle nose
pliers. This ensures that the anti-roll bar is
not under tension when your vehicle is at
ride height.

WHAT ARE ANTI-ROLL BARS?
Anti-roll bars (also known as sway bars) are used to stabilize a car
from excessive chassis roll (which occurs when your car leans outward
through the turns by centrifugal force). Anti-roll bars are generally used
on smooth, high traction track conditions. If the conditions are very
bumpy, then anti-roll bars are probably not necessary.
WHEN ARE ANTI-ROLL BARS NEEDED?
If you are driving on a high traction surface and your car wants to oversteer, then
use the bar on the front only. This will decrease the front chassis roll and decrease
steering through the corner. This has the feeling of increasing rear traction.
If your car is understeering, then try the anti-roll bar kit on the rear only. The rear
anti-roll bar will decrease rear traction. This has the feeling of increasing steering.
