:help Sup everyone I just recently joined this forum and I was wondering if i could get some help from you guys. I have a base 1995 240sx and i just recently bought a set of s/t anti sways. I kinda new to this self install thing and I have no idea what to do with all the 3 screws, 8 bushings, 8 washers, bolts, etc. that is only for the front too! Yeah the thing i am confused about is the order in which i put them on the screw (bushing first, then washer, then metal tubing?) Any pictures or instrutions will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Im guessing rear :)

Just came across this image I had on my site today and was going to erase it.... I took it for another nico member (would have come up in an "endlink" search)...

edit: you stated front but that sounds just like the rear.... If it differs from the front whiteline (which I am sure it does) and OEM I really cant help on the front other then to say rear the instructions or visit the site...

Try matching the items you got 1-by-1. Maybe you got leftovers that S/T accidentaly sent you? Process of elimination! Then just put the car on jack stands, place the new bar next to the O.E. installed one and try to see if they match. If not, call back S/T, and have them double check the part numbers for you.

Yeah its a peice of cake... I did mine with my car at stock ride height, a few years back, without jacking it up. This was with the SE lip. I had to turn the wheels on the front to get to the links, but I didnt have a means to get the car up then.

ok I think i got it for the most part, just not sure what to do with all these extra washers (8). I'm just not sure where they go since i have cupped washers and these extra 8 washers...

Anyone that have S/T sways that installed it in their 240sx help?

if the s14 is the same as the s13, then the washers go between the rear of the front backets and the chassis is you need em

anyone know how hard you are supose to torque the bolts on the endlinks. I am not looking for a specific number but are you supose to have the bushing compressed a little or just to the point where the bolts are touching the bushings?
