3)

Remove the stock panhard rod. Rotate the top end of the bar out of the bracket on the frame
and then pull the bar off the stud on the axle.

4)

Match the Hotchkis panhard rod to the stock Chevy panhard rod. To adjust the Hotchkis
panhard rod, loosen then jam nuts at each end. Rotate the middle section to shorten or lengthen
the bar. DO NOT rotate the ends of the rod individually as this will affect the maximum and
minimum adjustment of the bar.

Loosely tighten the jamb nuts for installation once the bar is adjusted.

5)

Use the grease packs provided to apply a heavy coat of grease to the sides of the bushings at
each end of the rod. Apply a light coat of grease to the bushing contact areas at the base of the
stud on the axle and inside the bracket on the frame.
