17. Place one end of the strut rod into the pre-drilled hole in the splitter and
locate where the top of the strut rod will attach to your bumper. (1” & 4 ¾”
dimensions) See Figure #2.
Mark this spot on the masking tape. Before drilling any holes mock up the
rod to make sure you have enough available strut rod length. Verify the
clevis is screwed into each end of the rod at least 3/8” so you have
adjustment available when completed. Once everything is as you want it
final mark the LS and RS hole locations. Keep the RS and LS
symmetrical.
REMEMBER…MEASURE 3 TIMES…..DRILL ONCE
18. Using a ¼” drill bit, dill one single hole at each of the 2 spots you marked
on the bumper in the prior step. Do not make the holes any larger than
1/4”.
CAUTION: STOP AS SOON AS THE DRILL BREAKS THROUGH.
THERE IS LIMITED CLEARANCE BEHIND THE BUMPER COVER.
