TRAILING END ROD ENDS:
Install the trailing arm rod ends onto the lower control
arms in place of the original trailing arms. Use the spacers
provided to center the rod end on the bolt.
On late rears the securing bolt screws in from the inside of
the brackets. On earlier cars the bolts are inserted from the
outside (hub side). If the bolt head protrudes from the
recess on the control arm, grind it flush with the outer edge
of the recess. Otherwise, it will contact the hub carrier.
b\tralarm
Reinstall the hub carrier onto the half shaft and lower
control arm. The trailing arms should be installed onto the
rod ends when the suspension assembly is installed into
the chassis.
See page 156 for lubricants and capacities.
