Ridetech 11230109 - Manual (Page 9)

1. On some cars, to remove the upper
control arm you must remove the bolts,
which are pressed into the frame. We
made this slide hammer adapter (a nut
with a piece of angle iron welded to it)
to aid in removing the bolts.
2. Fasten the upper arm to the frame
using the factory hardware. Reinstall
the current alignment shims, but
vehicle must be realigned. This arm
was designed with an extra 2 degrees
of positive caster with the centered
caster slugs. Additional caster slugs
are available if more or less caster is
desired. By changing the caster slugs
you can achieve the caster setting you
are wanting without having to run a lot
of shims. Caster is explained of the
next page.
3. Drop ball joint down through upper
arm. Slide ball joint boot over stud,
then place boot retainer over the boot.
Clamp assembly tight w/ the hardware
supplied.
4. Fasten the ball joint to the spindle
w/ the new castle nut and cotter pin
supplied.
5. Tighten the cross shaft nuts enough
to create drag on the delrin bushings,
the arm should still move.
6. Lubricate the ball joint w/ standard
grease.
