34. Once the torque arm bolts have been removed,
install the BMR Watts Link mount as shown
in Image 19. Re-tighten the mounting bolts to
150 ft/lbs.
35. The next few steps involve mounting the
Watts Link. Locate the billet aluminum Watts
pivot, the (2) spacers, reinforcement plate, (2)
3/8” x 3.75” bolts, and a ½” x 4” bolt. Refer
to Image 19 and 20 for a visual representation
of these components. NOTE: If your vehicle
will be setup for a low ride height, choose one
of the lower sets of mounting holes to install
the Watts pivot. For most applications, this is
a good starting point. This mounting point,
along with the outer Watts linkage mounting
points, determines the vehicles rear roll center
(RC) height. Variances in vehicle center-of-
gravity (CG) height make multiple mounting
locations necessary for fine tuning RC height.
36. Tighten the center bolt to 80 ft/lbs. and the
smaller outer bolts to 35 ft/lbs.
37. Before mounting the Watts link bars, it is
necessary to load the vehicles suspension.
Allow the weight of the vehicle to sit on the
rear end and bounce the car a few times to
settle the suspension. If the car sits too high
or too low, use the provided spanner wrench at this time to adjust the spring height on the
shocks. If it is not possible to a
the springs enough to achieve the
desired ride height, move the lower
shock mounting hole to a different
location. Once the desired spring
height is established, tighten the jam
collar on the shock
djust
and proceed to
the
xposed thread and tighten to 80 ft/lbs.
the following step.
38. Using Image 21 as a guide, thread
one of the two Watts link bars onto
the Watts link pivot and mount
other end into the drivers side
mount. The bar should be installed
into whichever mounting hole places the Watts link bar at the most level position while
the suspension is loaded. Insert one of the provided ½” x 3.25” bolts. Thread a stainless
washer and nut over the e
