Drill Holes for the Bushing Brackets
When looking at the front section of the chassis frame, there are 2 frame rails on each side
that extend to the front bumper. The outer frame rail is the main support for the front
bumper. The bushing brackets will be installed on the main outer frame rail, just behind
where the 2 frame rails meet. This will require you to drill 2 holes per side. Use a silver
marker to sketch out a line, depicting where the inner frame rail joins the outer rail.
Your Hotchkis kit includes bushing bracket reinforcement plates, which will be installed on the
inside of the frame rail. When measuring out where to drill the holes, your main goal is to
position the holes as far forward without contacting the inner frame rails. See picture for
more details. Make sure the 2 holes are parallel with the length of the car. Drill the holes
using a 7/16” drill bit. Remember to always wear safety glasses when drilling.
