Special Considera/ons
1.
When installing a complete Ye# JK Extreme linkage; install the draglink
before the #e rod for easier access to the draglink knuckle end ball stud
nut for #ghtening.
2.
For top mount draglink installa#on only, it may be necessary to turn the
wheels fully right to gain access to the draglink outer end ball stud nut for
#ghtening. If the clearance gained is insufficient, the passenger side #e rod
may need to be disconnected.
3.
While #ghtening the linkage ends into posi#on, make sure the top of the
boot seal posi#ons itself around the spacer on the ball stud and does not
get pinched between the faces of the spacer and knuckle/pitman arm.
4.
A professional wheel alignment is recommended for seOng toe and
steering wheel alignment.
IMPORTANT: READ THIS PAGE BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Requirements for Linkage Fit and Func/on
1.
Ye# JK Extreme ball studs are designed to be aPached to steering knuckles
with stock sized taper holes. If using an aRermarket knuckle, make sure
the taper hole has the same dimensions as the stock taper hole. APaching
the linkage to an oversized or undersize knuckle taper hole may cause ball
stud failure, or premature socket wear out, or failure taper lock.
2.
Given the numerous aRermarket configura#ons, the draglink and #e rod
clamp orienta#ons will need to be checked for interference by turning the
wheels from full leR to full right turn. If interference is found, loosen and
turn/adjust the clamps as needed to eliminate the interference. The
clamps must be located in the clamp posi#oning grooves (sec#ons at each
end of the tube with a smaller diameter) before re-#ghtening.
3.
Torque all nuts as specified throughout instruc#on and on page 7.
EXCESSIVE OVER TORQUE OR UNDER TORQUE COULD CAUSE LINKAGE
FAILURE.
4.
An aRermarket damper bracket assembly kit for an 1 5/8” diameter #e rod
tube is required to replace the original equipment damper bracket.
