Synergy 8001 - Jeep JK High Steer Drag Link - Manual (Page 4)

9. Install dust boot onto tie rod end and roll lower spring down to the bottom lip of the dust boot as pictured below.
10. Tighten the castle nut to 55 ft-lbs or more to align the cotter pin hole. Install the cotter pin on the steering arm end
and bend the ends over. Do not install the cotter pin at the pitman arm side at this time.
 **NOTE** – If the cotter pin hole does not align at 55 ft-lbs of torque, remove the flip adapter
and check the hole for burrs. The hole in the knuckle may need to be enlarged slightly more for
correct installation.
11. Align the draglink so the bend is flat and towards the front. Snug the jam nut on the pitman arm tie rod end, do not
fully tighten at this time.
12. Adjust the draglink to center the steering wheel by using the adjuster sleeve on the passenger side tie rod end (steering
knuckle end). This requires a 1 ¼” wrench. Tighten the pinch bolt to 50 ft-lbs. Check rotation of bar up and down so
there is no contact with the tie rod or other components. Adjust draglink as necessary so no contact can be made.
