Installation 

 

1.   DISCONNECT STEERING DAMPER 

& TRACK BAR 

 

Raise and support vehicle chassis with jack 
stands positioned behind the front lower 
suspension arm brackets. 

 

Raise and support front axle housing with a 
hydraulic jack just enough to relieve any tension 
from the track bar mounting bolts. 

 

Remove front track bar mounting hardware from 
axle bracket per the factory service manual 
instructions for your vehicle. Retain original 
hardware and temporarily secure axle end of 
track bar to chassis. 

HINT:

 Plastic zip ties or 

bungee cord is useful for securing track bar. 

 

Remove steering damper mounting hardware 
from the axle housing and tie rod. Remove 
steering damper from vehicle and retain original 
hardware from tie rod end only.

 

 

2.   PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION 

 

To ensure a proper fit, clean any dirt, debris or 
grease from surface of factory track bar bracket.

 

 

 

Position the Relocation Bracket (A) against the 
factory track bar bracket as illustrated.  

 

 

With the Relocation Bracket (A) in position, 
insert one 3/8” x 1” GR5 Bolt (B) with Flat 
Washer (C) into original mounting hole as 
illustrated below. Secure bolt with another 3/8” 
Flat Washer (C) and Ovalok Nut (D) and 
temporarily tighten to hold the bracket securely 
to the factory axle housing bracket.

  

HINT:

 Make sure all mounting holes align with 

corresponding holes in factory bracket.

 

 

 

To prepare for weld-on installation, clearly mark 
the locations to be welded directly on the axle 
housing and Relocation Bracket as indicated 
below. 

HINT:

 A felt tip marker is useful for 

marking weld locations.

 

This step is not 

necessary for bolt-on installation.

 

 

HINT:

 Be sure to include area on factory coil 

spring bracket and lower base of Relocation 
Bracket where it terminates just before it makes 
contact with axle tube. 

 

 

Using the Relocation Bracket as a guide, mark 
the exact location of the top and bottom 
mounting holes on the factory track bar bracket.  

HINT:

 A sharp metal scribe is useful for 

accurately marking hole locations. 

 

Remove Relocation Bracket (A) from axle 
housing. 

 

 

To prepare for bolt-on installation, center punch 
the hole locations previously marked on factory 
track bar bracket. Then, using a 3/8” drill bit 
centered on each hole location, drill through the 
factory bracket. 

This step is not necessary for 

weld-on installation. Proceed to Section 4.

 

 

To prepare for weld-on installation, thoroughly 
clean locations on axle housing and Relocation 
Bracket marked by an “X”. Also clean top and 
bottom mounting hole locations previously 
marked on the factory track bar bracket.  

HINT

: A die grinder with sanding wheel or 

similar tool is useful for removing contaminants. 

IMPORTANT: All welding must be performed 
on bare metal. Remove any coatings, 
corrosion or other contaminants before 
welding. This includes removing protective 
zinc finish (gold) from the locations on the 
Relocation Bracket that will be welded. 

 

3.   WELD RELOCATION BRACKET  

TO AXLE HOUSING 

 

With all indicated surfaces prepped for welding, 
reposition Steering Stabilizer Relocation 
Bracket (A) on factory track bar bracket.  

 

Insert the 3/8” x 1” GR5 Bolt (B) with Flat 
Washer (C) into the smaller front mounting hole 
in Relocation Bracket. 

 

 

Install a 3/8” Flat Washer (C) and Ovalok Nut 
(D) on bolt to secure bracket in position.

 

 

Using a torque wrench, tighten the 3/8” Ovalok 
Nut (D) to 40 ft-lbs.
