Steering Rack. This G-comp front suspension kit
is designed to use a thunderbird style power steering
rack. Install the steering rack as shown, using the two
5/8”-18 x 3 ½” grade 5 bolts and lock nuts. Torque to
65 ft lbs
5.
Install the lower control arms into the cross
member. Align the control arm bushings with the lower
control arm holes in the cross-member. The front bolts,
5/8”-18 x 3-1/4” Grade 5, are to be installed from the
front side. The rear bolts are 5/8”-18 x 5-1/2” Grade
5, are to be installed from the rear. Install the 5/8”-
18 lock nuts and torque to 100 ft-lbs. Install the lower
control arm bumps stops to the sub-frame using the
supplied 3/8” nuts as shown.
6.
Install the shocks. This procedure may vary slightly
depending on the shocks used. Spin the adjusting
collar onto the threaded shock body. Adjust the collar
all the way to the bottom of the threads. Install the
spring over the shock body.
NOTE:
The G-Comp
sub-frame has the upper spring retainer built into the
sub-frame so the upper coil-over shock spring retainer
is not used. Using the 1/2”-20 x 2-1/2” Grade 5 bolt and
two 3/16” wide spacers, install the shock into the lower
mount on the control arm. Secure it with a 1/2”-20
Grade 5 lock nut. Fully extend the shock and raise the
lower arm so the upper shock mount and spring align
with the shock mount and spring pocket on the sub-
frame. Install the 1/2”- 20 x 3” Grade 5 upper shock
bolts and 7/16” wide spacers. Secure it with a 1/2”-20
Grade 5 lock nut. Torque to 65 ft-lbs.
Note:
This kit
is designed to use shocks with a compressed length
of 10” and an extended length of 14”. Shock ends
should be ½” bearings with a mounting width of 1”. For
recommended part numbers please visit our website
