8. Do not skip this step. Mock up the lower control arm and coilover shock
assembly to make sure the upper Chicane mount is located in the correct
location. This also ensures that all shock components clear the frame. To allow
you to work with both hands and keep everything in place, support the lower
control arm and shock assembly. We recommend a small piece of chain or nylon
rope. Align them so that the lower control arm is level to the ground and set the
shock approximately in the middle of its travel. This will be close to the finished
ride height. You must be sure the shock is not mounted in a way that binds the
bushings and/or bearings.
9. Assemble the Chicane Bracket to the shock top eyelet. Align barcket into
position so that the shock is centered in the hole and will travel without hitting the
frame. Some slight trimming of the bracket notch you previously made may be
necessary. When you are sure everything is aligned properly, TACK weld the
upper Chicane mount in this location.
