Installation

1. REMOVE OE TIE ROD MOUNT

Remove the steering stabilizer retainer nut from

the factory mount on the tie rod.

Remove end of stabilizer from factory mount.

Remove the hardware that secures the factory

stabilizer mount to the tie rod.

Remove the factory stabilizer mount from the ve-

hicle and discard along with original hardware.

2. INSTALL NEW STEERING STABILIZER

TIE ROD MOUNT

To ensure a proper fit, clean any dirt, debris or

grease from surface of tie rod where the stabilizer

was mounted.

Determine the ideal configuration and placement

of the Steering Stabilizer Tie Rod Mount on the tie

rod. Take into consideration the following factors:

Stabilizer mount on tie rod should be aligned

with stabilizer mount on axle. There should

be no binding of the stabilizer or its bushings

throughout its entire stroke.

Mounting position on tie rod must allow unre-

stricted steering from lock-to-lock.

Tie Rod Mount and steering stabilizer must

not interfere with differential cover on axle.

For maximum versatility, the Steering Stabilizer

Tie Rod Mount can be installed in various configu-

rations based on your individual vehicle require-

ments. The following are just two of the most

common configurations:

Place the Tie Rod Bracket Assembly (A) on the tie

rod in the desired configuration and loosely install

the U-Bolt Straps (B) along with the 7/16” Split

Lock Washers (C) and 7/16” GR5 Nuts (D). Do not

tighten hardware yet.

IMPORTANT: This product is not compatible

with the factory steering stabilizer. An after-

market damper with 5/8” ID bushings must be

installed.

Slide end of steering stabilizer onto mounting

stud of Tie Rod Bracket Assembly (A) followed by

the supplied 7/16” Fender Washer (E) and 7/16”

Ovalok Nut (F).

IMPORTANT: If stabilizer bushing contains a

metal sleeve, remove it to allow fitment.

Tighten 7/16” Ovalok Nut (F) until the Fender

Washer (E) bottoms on the mounting stud.

With the Steering Stabilizer Tie Rod Mount loosely

installed on tie rod, find a position that allows

unrestricted lock-to-lock steering and full steering

stabilizer travel.

Once the final mounting position is established,

evenly tighten each of the 7/16” GR5 Nuts (D) to

35 ft-lbs. using a torque wrench.
