1. Raise Vehicle
Raise the vehicle and put it up on jack stands. You may also use a 2-post or 4-
post lift.
2. Remove Stock Steering Tie Rods
Remove the left and right stock steering tie rods from the vehicle. A big hammer
is your friend in removing the ball joint studs from center link and spindle. A
pickle fork may be needed if they are really tight.
3. Set Initial lengths for the Hotchkis Tie Rods
With the stock tie rods off, measure the center to center dimension of each link.
Spin the hotchkis turnbuckle so that the center to center dimension matches the
stock part. This will be an initial setting. A front end toe alignment will be
needed once the tie rods are in place.
