Installation the Flaming River Power Rack
1)
Install the Power Rack and Pinion Cradle Assembly 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 all nuts and bolts to 50-65 ft lbs.
2)
Install the jam nuts and outer tie rod ends onto the rack and
pinion assembly.
3)
To install the outer tie rod ends in the spindle arms 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.
