arm mounting brackets with a good quality chassis
grease to ease installation.

chassis and to compensate for altered ride heights.

of Adjustable Control Arm on other side of vehicle.

9. Lubricate control arm bushings with a good quality

chassis grease.

13. Install wheels and properly tighten lug nuts to

wheel manufacturers specifications.
