Synergy 8022-X - Jeep JK Synergy Stage 2 Suspension System - Manual (Page 20)

20. INSTALL COIL SPRINGS, SHOCKS AND SWAY BAR LINKS
• Install the new coil springs. If you have rotated the pinion up for a CV driveline, we
recommend that you cut, rotate and re-weld the lower coil spring mount on the axle to
align level or purchase coil spring angled wedges.
• Jack the axle up enough to install shocks using the original hardware, torque the upper
bar pin bolts to 37 ft-lbs and the lower bolt and nut to 56 ft-lbs.
• Make sure the sway bar links are adjusted to the same length and tighten the jam nut.
Install the upper end of the sway bar links to the sway bar. If the rod end stud does not fit
through the sway bar you will have to enlarge the holes with a ½” drill.
Tighten the nut to 66 ft-lbs
21. FINAL INSTALLATION STEPS
• Jack the rear axle up enough to install the tires and wheels.
• Remove the jack stands under the frame and lower the Jeep to the ground.
• Attach the track bar to the new track bar relocation bracket using the factory nut and
bolt. If the track bar does not line up with the hole you can have someone push the back
of vehicle from side to side to align the track bar bushing to the hole in the bracket.
• Now that the vehicle is sitting at ride height on level ground you can do the final
fastener torque
• Torque the front and rear lower control arm bolts to 125 ft-lbs and pinch bolts to 50 Ft-
lbs
• Torque the front and rear track bar bolts to 125 ft-lbs
• Torque the lug nuts to 85-125 ft-lbs.
• Bleed the brake system if you have not already done so.
• If you have rotated the pinion up we recommend that you add one addition quart of gear
lube in the rear differential to supply the front pinion bearing with gear lube.
You can buy an aftermarket diff cover with a higher fill plug or unscrew the breather
fitting in the axle tube and add the additional gear lube through there.
• 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.
• If the steering wheel is not centered the ESP light will come on, so make sure you adjust
the draglink so the steering wheel is perfectly centered. This is accomplished by test
driving and making the necessary adjustments. When driving in a straight line take note
of which way the steering wheel needs to turn to be centered. If the steering wheel needs
to turn right to be centered, shorten the draglink. If the steering wheel needs to turn left
to be centered, lengthen the draglink
• We recommend you have the Jeep aligned by a professional alignment shop. The front
castor should be set to around 5 degrees.
• Check all hardware after 500 miles of driving.
• We also recommend checking all hardware before and after all off road trips to avoid
failure due to loose fasteners.
