USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS ACCEPTANCE OF SELLER’S DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY!
By their very nature, competition components are constantly pushed to their limits. While our
components are designed to withstand intense race conditions, it is impossible to control the
quality of installation or the varying conditions in which they are used. It is for this reason that
absolutely no warranty or guarantee is either written or implied. Neither the seller nor the
manufacturer will be liable for any loss, damage, or injury – direct or indirect – arising from
the use of or inability to determine the use of any product. Before using, the user should
determine the suitability of the product for its intended use, and the user shall assume all
responsibility in connection therewith. Spohn Performance, Inc. makes no guarantee as to the
legality for any specific class. Spohn Performance, Inc. makes no claims, nor does it intend its
products to be used in street driven vehicles. Spohn Performance, Inc. reserves the right to
make changes in design or add to or improve on their product without incurring any obligation
to install the same on product previously manufactured. The Buyer agrees to indemnify and
hold Spohn Performance, Inc. harmless from any claim, action or demand arising out of or
incident to the Buyer’s installation or use of products purchased from Spohn Performance, Inc.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lift rear of vehicle and support by frame rails. DO NOT SUPPORT BY REAREND!
2. Use jack and place under rear axle to support but do not lift.
3. Remove both front and rear lower control arm bolts and nuts and remove
control arms. The axle will shift slightly rearward. (Only swap one LCA at a time, do
each side separately)
4. Install control arms using the jack to help position the rear axle properly. Make
the bolts hand tight only at this time.
5. Lower vehicle to ride height and tighten all bolts to 72 ft/lbs.
6. The poly bushings come pre-lubed. DO NOT use petroleum-based grease on your
poly bushings! Poly bushings must be lubricated with synthetic silicone based
waterproof grease. These are the manufacturer’s recommendations to prevent pre-
mature bushing wear, and will keep things "squeak-free". You can order this grease
from Spohn Performance using our Part #902. Do not over grease the bushings! You
only need a couple pumps of grease. Over greasing will cause the bushings to
balloon from the hydraulic pressure inside of the sleeve and they will fail.
Note: These LCAs do not have attachments for a stock style rear sway bar. Use our
Part #920 rear drag bar or our Part #919 pro-touring rear sway bar.
