spacer and add some loctite on the bolts holding the modi-
fied strut into the upper location and torque to 35 ft lbs.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

the new harden washer and castle nut. Torque the castle nut
to 70 ft lbs. Install the new cotter pin to the ball joint. Special
note: Do not forget to install the new harden washer
before the castle nut is installed. If this washer is not
installed, the new upper control arm ball joint will not
seat properly and damage will occur. Also, if you are not
able to install the cotter pin because the hole in the ball
joint does not line up with the castle nut DO NOT loosen
the castle nut but tighten it until the cotter pin can be
installed.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
