6. Clean the surface of the pivot points on the car checking to make sure there are
no rough edges that may tear into the new bushings. Apply a light coat of grease to
the outer surfaces of each bushing, slide the forward end of the Spohn control arm
up into position and reinstall the front pivot bolt.
7. Slide the rear of the control arm into place, reinstall the mounting bolt and torque
both bolts to 70 ft./lbs. Note – locating and aligning the rear pivot bolt is a little
tougher and may require the use of a small pry bar or similar tool to line up the
mounting holes correctly.
Repeat steps 5-7 on the opposite side of the vehicle
8. Reinstall the rear springs, making sure of proper position. (See note in step 3)
9. Remove the nut clips from the sway bar and slip them over the holes on the tabs
of the Spohn control arms with the threads towards inside of the vehicle. Install sway
bar onto control arms with the ends on the outer sides of the tabs.
10. Raise the rear end assembly, reinstall the lower shock mounting bolts and the
Quad-Shock mounts (if required). Reinstall the rear wheels. Road test and recheck
all bolts after driving a few miles.
Note: The polyurethane bushings come pre-lubed. DO NOT use petroleum-based
grease on your poly bushings! Poly bushings must be lubricated with synthetic
silicone based waterproof grease. These are the manufacturer’s recommendations to
prevent pre-mature bushing wear, and will keep things "squeak-free". You can order
this grease from Spohn Performance using our Part #902. Do not over grease the
bushings! You only need a couple pumps of grease. Over greasing will cause the
bushings to balloon from the hydraulic pressure inside of the sleeve and they will fail.
