1. Remove the traction lock bracket from each side of the Mustang rear-end. Replace with the
competition driver’s side and competition passenger’s side bracket using the ½” bolts provided in the
kit. You may need a rubber mallet as they are purposely a snug fit.
2. Place the Mustang rear-end on jack stands under the frame (also on jack stands) at approximate final
height relative to the frame.
3. Install the lower control arm on each side using donor bolts. Hand tighten. The lower bolt holes
provide more traction than the upper holes.
4. Install rear coil-over shocks using grade 8 bolts, nuts, washers, and spacers provided in the kit. The
top shock mount gets 2 equal spacers while the bottom mount gets a larger spacer toward the front
and a
⅛ ” shim (provided) toward the rear. The lower shock bolts should be installed from front to
rear. If using the Mustang shocks and springs, install one end of the axle limiting strap to the rear of
the lower shock bolt as it exits through the competition bracket and tighten the nuts.
