1)  INSTALL THE SPUD IN THE REAR CONTROL ARM BY DRILLING A 5/8” DIAMETER HOLE PER THE SKETCH BELOW.  WELD IT TO THE OUTSIDE FLANGE AND TO THE INSIDE FLANGE.  WHILE THIS CAN BE DONE ON THE CAR, IT IS EASIER TO DO IT BY REMOVING THE CONTROL ARM FROM THE CAR.

3)  SWING THE SWAY BAR UP TO THE FRAME RAILS AND ADJUST IT FORE AND AFT UNTIL THE LINKS ARE APPROXIMATELY VERTICAL.  BE SURE THE BAR IS AS CLOSE TO PERPENDICULAR TO THE CENTERLINE OF THE CAR AS POSSIBLE.  WELD THE COWBELLS TO THE FRAME RAILS AT THIS POINT.
