Synergy 8550 - 94+ Dodge 1500/2500/3500 Adjustable Front Track Bar - Manual (Page 2)

 Step 1) Remove zerk fitting. 5/16” socket or wrench.
 Step 2) Hammer out sleeve. Use a slightly larger bolt or punch to tap out sleeve.
 Step 3) Remove bushing halves. Use a pair of channel locks around the outer lip of the
bushing to remove the first half. With one half of the bushing is removed, the other side
can be tapped out with a bolt or punch.
 Installation is the reverse of these steps. Bushing installed first, then inner sleeve, then
zerk last. Use generous amounts of grease throughout installation.
3) Installation of the track bar can be performed with the vehicle sitting on level ground.
4) Remove the existing track bar. The wrench size will be either an 18mm or a 21mm depending on
model yr.
5) Install the new Synergy Manufacturing adjustable trackbar with the bushing end going into the frame
mount and the pinch bolts on the axle end.
6) Re-use the stock track bar mounting bolts and torque accordingly. (Note – it helps to have someone
turn the steering wheel to help align the bushing to the bracket hole when inserting the bolt:
 14mm bolt = 125 ft-lbs
 16mm bolt = 146 ft-lbs.
7) Center the axle by turning the adjuster sleeve, counterclockwise will extend the track bar. Use a ¼”
punch or similar tool to turn the adjuster sleeve. Recommended track bar lengths listed below.
These lengths are to be used as a baseline. Fine tune lengths for your application.
 Stock height vehicle = 38-7/8” (factory length)
 3.0” Lifted Vehicle = 39-1/8”
 6.0” Lifted Vehicle = 39-7/16” (**NOTE** Axle will be slightly offset towards the
driver side. This is done to prevent interference with the coil / coil bucket mount on the
driver side.)
8) Once you have the axle centered, tighten the pinch bolt to 50 ft-lbs. Make sure pinch bolt has
adequately clamped onto the rod end shank so that the adjuster is not movable.
9) Grease the polyurethane frame pivot bushing with quality automotive chassis grease through the
attached zerk fitting.
10) Re-check all torque specs after 100 miles of driving.
Installation is Complete.
