Flaming River Camaro Rack & Pinion Cradle Kits 1967-69 - Manual (Page 7)

Installation of the Flaming River Rack and Cradle
1) Install the rack and pinion cross member by sliding it into place, installing the new hardware using three
7/16” bolts where the gear box was mounted and two 3/8” bolts where the idler arm was located.
Tighten the 7/16” nuts and bolts to 50-65 ft lbs and the 3/8” nuts and bolts to 40 -45 ft lbs.
2) Install the passenger side rack mount onto the mounting bushing on the cradle using the 7/16” x 14 x 5”
bolt washer and nut.
3) Mount the driver’s side of the rack using the 7/16” x 14 x 4.5” bolt washer and nut.
4) Tighten both rack mounting bolts to 50-65 foot pounds.
5) Install tie rod ends onto the rack and pinion assembly.
6) To install the outer tie rod ends you must load the front suspension. (Securely placing jack stands under
the lower control arms and lowering the car onto the jack stands accomplishes this.) Install the outer tie
rod ends into the spindle and tighten the castle nuts to 30-40 ft lbs. Make sure to install cotter pins into
the castle nut and tie rod end and bend the tabs over for security.
