CAUTION: Please read and understand the complete
instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product.
Ready? GO!
Park vehicle on a smooth, level, asphalt or concrete surface. Block the front
wheels. Jack up rear end of car and support with jack stands under chassis.
Remove rear wheels and tires. For proper jacking point and jack stand
placement refer to the owners manual or service manual. BE SAFE, DON’T DO
ANYTHING WE WOULDN’T DO!
1. Locate the 4 black bushings and tube of special grease supplied in the
hardware kit. Cut the end off the grease tube and apply the grease to the
inside bore of the polyurethane bushings.
2. Remove the small emergency brake cable brackets that are attached to the
trailing arms. These are affixed with 10mm bolts. Do this for both sides. You
will install the included spacer later on to add clearance for the parking
brake cable after the sway bar is added.
3. These next steps are best handled with a helper or using a spare jackstand to
hold one end of the sway bar in place while assembling the other corner.
Gather the bushings, 4 saddle brackets, 4 flat backing plates, 4 bushing
brackets, all the M10 bolts, nuts and washers (8, 8, 16). Add one bushing in
between the bushing stops at the front of the sway bar, repeat for the other
side.

4. Using a jackstand or helper, hold the sway bar in place with approximately a
fingers with of clearance between the rear beam/axle and sway bar (refer to
the picture on the previous page). Mark where the installed bushings at the
front of the sway bar reside on the inside of the trailing arm. This will be your
approximate reference point to install the front brackets.
5. Bring the sway bar back down and slide the bushing bracket over the front of
the installed bushing, place the backing plate behind the bushing and raise
the sway bar to where the backing plate aligns with your reference point on
the trailing arm. On the opposite side, hold the saddle bracket in place and
insert the M10 bolt with washer through the saddle bracket, then through the
backing plate and bushing bracket. Install the M10 washer and nut. And
loosely tighten. The sway bar should still be able to slide to make final
adjustments to the sway bar location. Repeat for the other side.

6. For the rear bushing / bracket installation, repeat the same assembly
procedure as step 5 regarding the bushing bracket, saddle bracket, backing
plate and hardware. NOTE! This is an adjustable type stabilizer bar. Moving
the rear bushing assembly to the rear of the vehicle will produce less
understeer. As shown below, the bar is in its stiffest position.

position (less understeer)
Move the rear bushing assy to
the front to soften the sway bar.
7. Use the spacers, bolts and washers provided to reattach the emergency
brake cable. Torque M6 bolts to 4-6 lbs. Shown in figure 3 of the photo page.
8. Tighten all hardware at this time. Torque M10 hardware to 30-35 lbs. Install
wheels and tires using the correct wheel nut torque. Lower rear of car onto
ground, and roll car back and forth to settle suspension. Installation is
complete. Check assembly periodically for tightness.
NOTE: The next steps in improving your B15 Sentra’s performance is adding
the following parts:
1. 2JR 10mm Anti Lift Kit (ALK), reduce wheel hop and increase front grip
2. 2JR Rear Offset Trailing Arm Bushings (Solid Delrin) – Improves Lateral
Response
3. 2JR Custom Spec’d BC Racing Coilovers, valved and sprung to your specs
4. 2JR Panhard Rod – the ultimate in cornering improvement, our panhard
rod replaces your Scott Russell Link for a dramatic improvement in
handling via a lowered rear roll center.
