Reinstall the lower control arm back onto the k-member. Push the torsion bar forward
and insert it into the lower control arm pin hex.
Next rotate/thread the strut rod body in or out to a desired length. You can dial in
more positive caster by shortening the strut rod. Do not over extend the strut rod past
the recommended length (see diagram below). Fully tighten the rear strut rod nut.
Center the heim joint so that it is not twisted one way or another. Tighten the heim
joint jam nut.
Fully tighten the front strut rod 5/8” nut you installed earlier. To avoid spinning the clevis
while tightening, use a pry bar to hold the clevis.
Restore torsion bar snap ring. Adjust the torsion bar tensioner back to where it was for
proper pre-load.
