Synergy 8023-X - Jeep JK Synergy Stage 3 Suspension System - Manual (Page 6)

• Install the u-bolt over the axle tube and through the track bar relocation bracket,
use a flat washer and nylock nut to secure the u-bolt.
• Once all the hardware is installed in the track bar relocation bracket you can begin
to torque all the hardware. Torque the 9/16 bolt to 150 ft-lbs, the ½” bolts to 90
ft-lbs, and the 3/8” bolts and u-bolt to 40 ft-lbs. Wait until the jeep is sitting at
right height to attach the track bar.
8. INSTALL STEERING STABILIZER
• The track bar relocation bracket also allows you to relocate the steering stabilizer
to the top of the tie rod.
• Loosen the u-bolts on the tie rod steering stabilizer bracket and rotate it to the top
of the tie rod as shown in Figure 8-1. Tighten the u-bolts when finished. Attach
the large end of the steering stabilizer to the tie rod bracket.
• Attach the shaft end of the steering stabilizer to the track bar relocation bracket
using the factory nut and bolt and a ½ washer between the bushing and the track
bar relocation bracket. See Figure 8-2
• Tighten both steering stabilizer mounting bolts to 60 ft-lbs.

9. INSTALL DRAGLINK
• You have two options for flipping the draglink to the top of the knuckle, 1) Ream
the tapered hole from the top if you have the correct tie rod end reamer (1 ½” per
ft) or 2) Purchase the tie rod flip adapter (PPM-800102-01) and drill the steering
arm to a 7/8” straight hole.
• Using the tapered reamer and a hand drill, ream the factory steering knuckle from
the top to a diameter of .760”, measured to the large end (top) of the taper.
• If using the flip adapter, drill the steering arm tie rod hole thru with a 7/8” drill bit
Figure 9-1, insert the adapter into the hole from the top Figure 9-2.
• Coat the threads of the un-bent end of the new draglink liberally with anti-seize
and thread onto the factory pitman arm tie rod end. Leave about 1” of thread
exposed on the tie rod end. If the tie rod is difficult to install, you can wedge the
pinch bolt tube open using a chisel or similar tool.
