10. Connect the 2 end of the tie rod back together using the
threaded sleeve and install to the newly installed pitman arm.
Special note: The new pitman arm has a reverse taper on
it, if you have not already rotated the stock outer tie rod
180 degrees, rotate the stock outer tie rod at this point.
Secure the outer tie rod to the previously installed pitman
arm using the OE hardware. Make sure to use loctite and
torque to 85 ft lbs. Now center the threaded sleeve on
both ends of the tie rods and tighten the locking nuts.
Once the suspension system has been completely
installed and the vehicle gets to an alignment shop, the
alignment shop will properly center the tie rod.

11. Working on the driver side, remove the track bar hard-
ware that is connecting the track bar to the OE track bar
location. Save the hardware.

12. Working on the front portion of the OE track bar bracket,
carefully enlarge the 3/8” hole to a 1/2” hole using a electric
drill.

13. Locate the new track bar relocation bracket. Also, locate
(1) 1/2” x 1 1/4” bolt, (2) 7/16” USS flat washers and (1) 1/2”
unitorque nut from hardware bag 33118NB. Install the new
track bar relocation bracket to the OE track bar bracket by
installing the rear portion of the new bracket to the inside of
the OE bracket and the front portion of the new bracket to
the outside portion of the OE bracket. Secure using the new
1/2” hardware into the hole that was drilled earlier into the
front leg of the OE track bar bracket. Do not tighten at this
point.
