Step 24. Place the right rear hub (65) between the outer rails

of the right rear suspension arm (50). Be sure that the ball stud
(10) is towards the front. Position a rear hub spacer (70) between
the hub (65) and the suspension arm (50) on each side of the hub
(65).

!

Step 25. Insert an outer rear hinge pin (71) into the suspen-

sion arm (50), through each of the two spacers (70) and rear hub
(65). Secure the hinge pin (71) with two 1/8" E-clips (41).

!

Step 26. Repeat Steps 24 and 25 for the left rear hub (66)

and left rear suspension arm (50).

!

Step 27. Thread a plastic rod end (45) onto each end of a

2-1/2" turnbuckle (72). Tighten both rod ends (45) equally until
the rod is the same length as the one shown in Figure 26A. Make
two of these rear camber link assemblies.

*NOTE: Each end of the turnbuckle is threaded opposite. One end

has left-hand threads, the other right-hand threads. This allows the length
of the rods, once installed,  to be adjusted without removing them.

!

Step 28. Attach one end of a rear camber link assembly from

Step 27 to the ball stud (10) in the right rear hub (65) and the
other end to the ball stud (26) in the rear shock tower (55).

!

 Remember to attach the turnbuckles so that the threads

are in the same direction on all of your linkages.

!

Step 29. Repeat Step 28 for the left side of the truck.
