Skyjacker 1035H - Manual

Camber / Caster Shim
Part # 1032H / 1035H
On Ford Twin Traction Beam models, the camber is adjusted by replacing the camber adjusting
bushing. Camber changes are determined by the angle at which the mounting bushing holds the ball
stud.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove the upper ball joint cotter pin & nut.
2. To help prevent a tight steering condition & aid in the seating of the bushing, remove the lower
ball joint cotter pin & loosen the nut to the end of the stud, but DO NOT remove.
3. Strike the inside of the spindle near the upper & lower ball joints to break the spindle loose from
the ball joint studs. Remove the old bushing using a pitman arm puller or similar tool.
INSTALLATION OF THE NEW BUSHING:
1. Partially tighten the lower ball joint stud nut to 40 Ft. Lbs. & lubricate the bushing. Install the
bushing over the ball joint stud. Place the old bushing on top of the new & tap down to seat in
place.
2. Using a 1 1/8” box wrench, rotate the bushing until the desired alignment is achieved. Position
into place using the closest notch possible.
3. Place the old bushing over the new bushing again & firmly tap the bushing down as far as
possible into the axle to correctly seat the taper of the bushing.
4. Install the upper ball joint stud nut & tighten to 95-110 Ft. Lbs. Advance (DO NOT LOOSEN) the
nut to the next castellation & install the new cotter pin.
5. Finish tightening the lower ball joint nut to 95-110 Ft. Lbs. Advance the nut to the next castellation
& install the new cotter pin.
6. Reinstall the tires / wheels & lower the vehicle & road test.
Note: Excessive spindle turning effort or poor steering returnability may be the result of not
following the proper tightening sequence or worn / bent ball joints.
