1.

Ensure both jam nuts are threaded all the way against the center hex of the adjustment bolt. Assemble SmartArm

by advancing both tubular pieces equally until

threads of the adjustment bolt are no longer visible. Be sure to match left and right hand threads of all parts.

Raise the rear of vehicle and support body on jack stands. Remove rear tire and wheel assembly.

3.

Remove the two bolts from the inner end of the upper support arm at the body mounting bracket.

Remove the nut from the ball joint at the upper support arm. Using a ball joint separator or similar method, separate the ball joint taper and remove the support arm.
Take care to not damage threads of ball joint.

5.

Rotate the bushing end of the SmartArm so the mounting bar will sit flush to the body and the adjusting bolt will point slightly upwards as shown in figure.

onto the body using the two original mounting bolts and torque to 28 ft. lbs. (38 N.M.).

Place a wrench or vice grips on the flat of the tube next to ball joint. While using the wrench to keep the ball joint body perpendicular to the ball joint stud, tighten the
jam nuts on the adjusting bolt.

11.

Finish tightening the jam nuts by holding the adjusting bolt and verify that the ball joint is still aligned properly at the spindle. Set rear toe to specifications.
