8. Assemble the Chicane Bracket to the shock top eyelet. Visually center the
shock and measure the clearance from the outside of the spring to the frame.
Optimal
clearance is 3/8” to 1/2”. If needed, remove the shock/spring assembly
and trim the hole. Align the bracket into position so that the shock is centered in
the hole and will travel without hitting the frame. When you are sure everything is
aligned properly, TACK weld the upper Chicane mount in this location.
11. Remove the shock assembly and then remove the spring from the shock.
Reinstall the shock into the lower control arm and the Chicane bracket to test
again for any binding throughout the control arm's range of motion. Now that you
have double checked everything and there is no bind and no clearance issues,
you can final weld the Chicane upper bracket in place.
12. Once all welding is completed you can paint and/or reassemble all
suspension components.
