6. Install the Strut Rod

We’ll start by bolting in the front end first. Following the diagram below to see

the order of parts.


Install the large flat-cut washer onto the clevis stud and insert the front mount into the

k-member hole.

If needed, rotate

the flat-cut washer to alleviate any clearance issues with the sheet

metal.

You will notice that the k-member hole is much larger than the clevis stud. This is ok,

since you will be inserting 2 spacer washers from the front side of the k-member to take

up the gap. The spacer washers will fit inside

the k-member sheet metal.

Once the spacers are in place, install the large round washer and 5/8” nylock nut.

Moving on to the rear mount, insert the rear stud into the lower control arm hole. Do

not install the stud nut at this time.
