Product Installation Instructions ING38560-072007
Part Number 38560
CAUTION: Observe proper safety and repair procedures for installation of all chassis parts. Some chassis parts require specialized tools and
experience and therefore MUST be installed by a qualified technician otherwise an unsafe vehicle and/or personal injury could result. Wear safety
glasses and other protection.
WARNING: Before beginning, check for any damaged or loose suspension connections. Loose connections here indicate worn or broken parts which
MUST BE REPLACED. Failure to replace a damaged or worn spindle and/or link may cause the wheel to separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in
serious personal injury.
NOTE: These parts are intended for use in vehicles with abnormal alignment and are designed to replace the non-adjustable factory equipment. These
parts are not designed for installation on vehicles with suspension and/or steering systems modified for racing, competition or any other non-standard
purpose.
Before starting alignment, complete inspection checklist and determine the amount of change needed.
1. Match left and right hand threaded parts and assemble the SmartArms TM . Thread the Jam Nuts all the way down on the End Links [left hand Jam
Nut (silver) on the left hand threaded End Link (first thread missing), right hand Jam Nut (black) on the right hand threaded End Link (complete
threads)]. Thread the End Links into the Adjusting Tube (put the left hand Link into the end of the Adjusting Tube which has the radial groove next
to the wrench flats). Make sure the both end links are threaded into the adjusting tube the same amount. Install one of the 12 mm sleeves into each
of the bushing ends See “A” in Photo).
2. Raise the rear of vehicle and support body safely on jack stands.
3. Remove the bolt from the lower link at the body mounting bracket. Remove the bolt and camber adjusting cam (under the bolt head) from the other
end of the lower link.
4. Using the new SmartArm TM unit, turn the adjusting tube while holding the end links and adjust to the length of the OE arm. Install one end into the
body mounting bracket for the lower center link. Re-install the mounting bolt but do not tighten yet. Position the other end of the new SmartArm TM
on the spindle and re-install the camber adjusting cam (in the neutral position) and bolt (do not tighten nut yet).
5. Repeat procedure for other side of vehicle.
6. Lower the vehicle and tighten all the link bolts to manufacturers torque specifications.
7. Adjust camber by loosening jam nuts and turning the Adjusting Tube of the center lower link to the desired specifications. DO NOT extend the
threads beyond their limits (ensure that the dimple marks on the End Link threads are still located within the Center Tube).
8. Tighten the jam nuts against the Adjustment Tubes on both SmartArms TM to 80 ft. lbs. [108 N.M.]
9. Adjust toe using the OE provided adjustment and road test vehicle.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR SUSPENSION CLEARANCE
Modifying any suspension component may change other part
clearances and cause binding or interferences. After installing any
Ingalls’ product, the suspension must be checked for binds or
interference between all components, other arms and the chassis.
Be sure that all control arms, struts and steering ends move freely
through the full movement of the suspension (springs may need to be
removed to fully check component travel). Installing any Ingalls’
product on a modified vehicle (lowered or raised) from the original
factory design requires a detailed check of all suspension
components and their movements. Ingalls recommends that a
trained technician install all products.
