Audi RS6 #22827 Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit Installation Instructions Tools Required: 1) 4-Post lift or drive-on ramps 2) 13mm socket/wrench 3) 16mm socket/wrench 4) 3/8” drive extension (long) 5) Blue Threadlocker 6) Slotted Screwdriver START WITH THE REAR BAR 1) Raise the rear (or entire) vehicle using a 4-Post lift or drive-on ramps.
) Once vehicle is raised, take a moment and observe the stock rear bar and the way in which it is mounted. 3) Undue the rear exhaust hanger brackets and middle hangers then let hang. Use WD-40 to loosen the rubber hangers. Unbolt the hanger brackets using an extension and 13mm socket. It’s a good idea to support the exhaust system (e.g. near the tips) once you’ve achieved the desired space needed to remove the sway bar. This will avoid bending the exhaust system down more then needed.
4) You will notice the bushing bracket also holds up some of the shock reservoir lines. Use a crescent wrench to loosen the jam nut securing the line to the bracket. 5) Remove the four bushing bracket nuts and bolts (two 13mm socket/wrench) attaching the anti-roll bar brackets to the sub-frame and save. You may discard the stock bushing bracket.
6) Remove the two end link bolts and nuts (16mm wrench) which attach the bar ends to the end links and save them. To clear the shocks with the bolts, pull the bar towards the rear of the car. 7) As you begin to remove the bar, gently free each end from the end link. Now that the bar is free, you can snake the sway bar through the exhaust pipes.
8) Apply supplied grease to inner surface of both rear bushings. Then install the bushings to the bar at approx. the stock locations. Install the brackets over the bushings with the grease fittings pointed down. 9) Reverse the procedure and position Hotchkis bar in the stock location with the “H-Sport” sticker facing rearward, right side up. 10) Re-install the end link with the provided nuts & bolts and leave loose.
11) Slip the shock reservoir lines into the new bracket tabs. Secure the bushing brackets with the stock nut & bolt sandwiching the reservoir line bracket tab. Tighten the four bracket bolts, then tighten the end link bolts. Don’t forget to tighten the shock reservoir line jam nut with your crescent wrench! 10) Finally, re-attach exhaust hangers to the metal tabs on both sides.
Front Sway Bar Installation 1/ Drive the vehicle onto a 4-post lift or floor ramps. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE AT NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT You cannot have the suspension hanging while installing this bar! FOR PROPER INSTALLATION. 2/ Once vehicle is raised, use a standard screwdriver and remove the aero-pan fasteners. Then remove the pan entirely exposing the anti-roll bar. 3/ Take a moment and observe the stock front bar and the way in which it is mounted.
6/ Lift the bar up to the vehicle. The two smaller HSport stickers at the bar’s ends should be right-side-up. As you lift the bar up to the mounting points, you must place one mounting plate per side between the bushing and the mounting point. This relocates the bushing out of the stock bushing pocket. 7/ Re-install the bracket nuts and tighten. Use a small portion of blue thread-locker on the end-link bolts, re-install and tighten well.
