JKS Bar Pin Eliminator Installation

2 Page

Inspect shock bushings for wear and deterioration.

If new bushings are needed, replace with standard

5/8” ID hourglass type bushings before installing

Bar Pin Eliminators.

2. MOUNT BAR PIN ELIMINATOR TO

SHOCK ABSORBER

Apply a thin coating of wheel bearing grease to

the Cross Pin (A).

Insert Cross Pin (A) through upper bushing of

shock absorber.

Slide remaining Mounting Block (B) onto opposite

end of Cross Pin (A), making sure bolt and roll pin

holes are correctly positioned.

IMPORTANT: This product is designed to preload the

shock absorber bushings for maximum performance

and longevity. Therefore, you should find it neces-

sary to compress the bushing approximately 1/16” to

1/8” before the mounting bolts and/or roll pins can be

inserted.

If you are able to install the mounting blocks with-

out compressing the shock bushing, insert a SAE

5/8” flat washer (not supplied) between the bush-

ing and Mounting Block to ensure proper bushing

preload.

Squeeze Mounting Blocks together to compress

the shock absorber bushing until bolt and roll pin

holes align.

HINT: A bench vice or C-clamp is use-

ful for compressing shock bushing.

Tap the 1/8” Roll Pin (C) through Mounting Block

(B) and into corresponding hole in Cross Pin (A).

3. RE-INSTALL SHOCK ABSORBERS

Clean any dirt or debris from the upper shock

mounting surface on chassis.

HINT: A sanding or

grinding wheel is useful for removing any stubborn

material.

Place a Split Washer (E) on each of the supplied

Hex Bolts (D).

Position Bar Pin Eliminator on mounting surface

of chassis bracket. Insert 50mm Hex Bolts (D)

through mounting blocks and thread into original

shock mounting holes.

HINT: Mounting Blocks of

Bar Pin Eliminator must lay completely flat against

surface of chassis bracket.

Using a torque wrench, tighten 50mm Hex Bolts

(D) to 25-35 ft-lbs.

Install shock absorber to lower axle bracket using

factory hardware.

Using a torque wrench, tighten shock mounting

bolt to 56 ft-lbs.
