9. The lower axle bracket will be
fastened to the leaf spring pad using the
factory U-bolts. It is offset to the inside
of the car. New 7/16” nylocs are
supplied.
10. Bolt the lower Shockwave mount to
the lower holes of the axle bracket if you
have a monoleaf car. If you have a
multileaf car the bottom of the billet
mount will be flush with the axle bracket.
11. Swing the lower bar up to the axle
bracket and insert 5/8” x 2 3/4" bolt. The
standard hole is the center hole like in
the picture. Thread 5/8” Nylok onto the
bolt but
do not tighten yet.
12. This end of the bar as well as the
upper bars are rubber and do not require
lubrication.
6. Install the large end of the lower bar
(the long one) into the factory spring
mount using the factory hardware. Do
not over tighten this bolt; it should be
snug. The bar is offset to the inside of
the car for wheel and tire clearance.
7. This bushing is polyurethane and is
lubricated at the factory with lithium
grease, additional lubrication is not
needed. Future lubrication can be done
using any non-petroleum based
lubricant.
8. Bolt the bar and mount back onto the
car using the factory hardware.
13. Check the length of the upper bar; it
should be 9 1/4" C-C. Bolt the axle tabs
to the setting jig
(The setting jig is
explained on the next page) . (Longer
ears to the front) Then place the other
end of the jig into the cradle. Both ends
use a 5/8” x 2 3/4" and should not be
fully tightened yet. For now just the let
axle tabs sit on the axle.
14. Before welding these tabs to the
axle you will need to center the axle and
set pinion angle. We used a plum on the
outside of the quarter panel to center the
axle left to right. Setting the pinion angle
is explained on the pinion angle page.
This must be done at ride height.
