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) Install the front A-arm bracket
01
under the lower front A-
arm so that the two (2) parts fits snugly.
4) Install the front clamping plate
02
above the lower front A-
arm and fasten them to A-arm bracket
01
using the four (4)
hex. bolts
03
and the four nylon nuts
04
. Torque the bolts to
20 ft-lbs. See
figure 2.
5) Repeat
steps 1
to
4
for the opposite side.
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.
