42. Locate (2) MO2382 poly bushings and (1) S10076
sleeve from hardware bag 55900NB2. Working on the driver
side of the rack and pinion, install the new bushings and
sleeve into the rack and pinion. Special note: Make sure to
use a lithium or moly base grease prior to inserting the
new bushings and sleeve into the rack and pinion. This
will increase the life of the bushings as well as prevent
squeaking.

ter of the rack and pinion, install the new bushings and

use a lithium or moly base grease prior to inserting the
new bushings and sleeve into the rack and pinion. This

45. Working on the driver side sway bar mounting bracket
that attaches to the inside part of the frame rail and using a
tape measure, measure from the top leading edge of the
front portion of the bracket downward 1 1/2”. Using some
white out or a white marker, scribe a line. Now measure from
the inside leading edge towards the frame rail 1”. Using
some white out or a white marker, scribe a line. Carefully cut
the front corner out of the sway bar mounting bracket.
Special Note: Tuff Country does not recommend using a
torch when making this cut. Tuff Country recommends
using a die grinder to make this cut. The stock gas line
runs on the inside of the stock frame rail, take special
care not to cut the stock gas lines. Also when making
this cut, take special care not to cut into the stock frame
rail. Clean up any exposed slag from the trimming per-
formed in this installation step.
