14. Bolt the strut assembly to the spindle and
snug the bolts. Line up the strut and
spindle to the mark made in step 5 then
tighten the bolts to 60 ft/lbs. NOTE: the
alignment marks made previously will only
get the alignment close. Your newly
lowered vehicle will still need an alignment
to reach the desired specifications.
15. Re-install the brake line retainer and
tighten the 10mm.
16. Re-install the ABS wire to the strut tab.
17. Re-install the sway bar end link to the strut
and tighten the nut to 36 ft/lbs.
18. Duplicate these steps for the other side then
re-install the wheels and tires.
19. The next step is re-indexing the front
suspension bushings to work with your
new ride height. This procedure is easiest
performed on the alignment rack while the
vehicle is being aligned. With the vehicle
at static ride height, loosen the front radius
rod bushing bolt and front control arm
bushing bolt. Bounce the vehicle a few
times to re-index the bushings then re-
tighten the bolts. The radius rod bolt gets
torqued to 32 ft/lbs. while the lower control
arm bolt is torqued to 39 ft/lbs.
Rear Installation:
1. Lift vehicle and support with jack stands.
2. Remove both rear wheel and tire assemblies.
