Remove the modified driver side stock strut from the wall
mounted strut compressor and set aside. Repeat proce-
dure on the passenger side strut.
50. Locate (2) new strut spacers and the stock upper strut
hardware. Install the new strut spacers to the top of the
driver and passenger side struts and secure using the stock
hardware. Make sure to use thread locker or loctite and
torque to 42 lbs. Special note: on the bottom plate of the
new strut spacer, there is a straight edge, this straight
edge needs to be installed towards the outside of the
strut. Refer back to the refrence mark on the top of the
bearing plate.

washers from hardware bag # 2 in hardware box 56070NB.
Also, locate the stock lower strut mounting hardware.
Working on the driver side, install the modified strut into the
stock upper location and secure using the new 7/16” uni-
torque nuts and hardware. Do not tighten at this point.
Install the lower portion of the modified strut to the stock
lower control arm using the stock hardware. Make sure to
add some thread locker or loctite on the stock bolt and
torque to 144 ft. lbs. Move back to the (4) 7/16” nuts and
add some thread locker or loctite and torque to 42 ft. lbs.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side modified strut.
52. Locate the driver side stock knuckle and hub assembly.

holding the stock CV axle to the stock upper control arm.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
59. Working on the driver side, loosen but do not remove
the stock hardware that connects the stock upper control
arm into the stock location. We want to do this so that the
stock upper control arm can move freely and will also help
make the installation of the new knuckle easier. Repeat
procedure on the passenger side.
60. Locate the new driver side knuckle, the stock upper
control arm castle nut and stock upper control arm castle
nut cotter pin. Install the new driver side knuckle to the
stock upper control arm and secure using the stock castle

stock cotter pin through the stock upper control arm ball
joint and stock castle nut. Special note: if the holes in the
stock upper control arm ball joint and castle nut do not
line up, DO NOT loosen but tighten until the stock cot-
ter pin can be installed. Also, when installing the new
knuckle to the stock upper control arm, we want to
make sure and carefully slide the stock CV axle back
into the stock hub assembly.

ed the stock knuckle to the stock lower control arm. Add
some thread locker or loctite to the stock bolts and secure
the new knuckle to the stock lower control arm. Torque the
stock bolts to 270 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the passen-
ger side.
