1.
The front of the car needs to be up in the air with the wheels at static
ride height. This can easily be done by rolling the car up on ramps. If
you are not able to get the car up on ramps, you can jack up the car,
place it on jack stands using the OEM recommended locations, and then
jack up each wheel to static ride height. It is necessary to measure the
gap between the tire and wheel arch to make sure it is as close as
possible to static ride height in the air. Apply the parking brake and sift
your vehicle to park for an automatic transmission or 1
st
gear for a
manual transmission.
2.
Remove the existing end links from both sides of the vehicle.
3.
Install both SPL front end links into the control arm of the vehicle. Use
the tapered spacers supplied in this kit to make sure that the end link is
as close to perpendicular to the ground as possible. Tighten the nuts to
50
ft-lb
.
4.
Install one SPL end link into the sway bar. As shown in the images
below, make sure both rod ends are in the middle of their articulation,
and the end link is as close to perpendicular to the ground as possible.
When installing the new SPL end links, you should not have to apply any
force to the control arm or the sway bar to install the studs into either
end. If you do so, you are inducing preload into the sway bar, thus
limiting its ability to function as designed.
