Front A-arm brackets installation
WARNING
1.
The vehicle must be
immobilized
and the
engine turned off
and cooled.
2.
Always wear
safety glasses
during installation, adjustment or repair.
3.
Please read and ensure you
have understood the warnings
and guidelines.
4.
Make sure the vehicle is
safely secured in place
by a system dedicated to this use (jack stands and hoist) and that it is supported or
fixed on locations that are not likely to break, bend or slip. A hydraulic jack is not safe; nor is a log. The vehicle must be not able to move.
The installation requires that the vehicle is in two-wheel drive
mode with the gearbox in neutral. After lifting the vehicle and
removing the wheels:
1) Remove the universal joint guard. Keep the parts for later
reinstallation.
2) Insert the carriage bolt
G
into the hole identified by a label
on the a-arm bracket
01
. See
figure 2.
In the packaging, this
bolt is mounted on the rod end
M
of the front anti-rotation
arm.
3) Lean the A-arm bracket
01
under the front lower suspension
arm taking care that the two (2) parts fits snugly
4) Fasten the inner part of the A-arm bracket
01
to A-arm using
the two (2) U-bolts
04
, the two (2) flat washers
05
and the
four (4) nylon nuts
06
(fonger tighten at this time). See
figure
2.
5) Faster the outer part of the A-arm
01
to A-arm using the
front clamping plate
02
, the two (2) carriage bolts
05
and the
two (2) nylon nuts
06
. Torque the bolts to 11 ft-lbs.
6) Repeat
steps 1
to
5
for the opposite site.
WARNING
1.
Do not overtorque the bolts. Some parts may be subject to deformation. If the bolts are too tight, some safety aspects could be
compromised.
2.
Be careful: an incorrectly positioned A-arm bracket could give some play, which could make driving riskier as well as lead to breakage to
the vehicle, a loss of control and serious injuries.
