Front end installation:
1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so
that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift
the front of the vehicle and support the vehicle with a pair of
jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the
passenger side. Next, remove the front wheels and tires
from both sides.
2. Working on the driver side, remove the stock cotter pin
from the stock upper control arm ball joint nut. Save the
stock cotter pin. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
3. Working on the driver side, loosen but do not remove the
stock nut connecting the stock upper ball joint to the stock
knuckle. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
4. Working the driver side, carefully break the stock taper on
the stock upper control arm and the stock knuckle. Special
note: Carefully hitting the stock knuckle with a hammer
will help break the stock taper. Take special care not to
damage the stock upper ball joint boot. Do not remove
the stock nut at this point. Repeat the procedure on the pas-
senger side.
5. Working on the driver side, remove the stock lower sway
bar end link hardware. Set the stock hardware aside.
Remove the stock end link from the stock lower control arm.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
6. Working on the driver side, make a reference marking the
driver side strut. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
Special note: This is done because once the new spac-
ers are installed on top of the stock struts, the driver
side strut is going to be installed on the passenger side
and the passenger side strut is going to be installed on
the driver side.
7. Working on the driver side, remove the (3) stock nuts hold-
ing the stock strut into the stock upper location. Save the
stock hardware. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
