Hotchkis 1801 1982-2002 GM F-Body Rear Suspension Pckg. - Manual (Page 8)

7) Once the bar is in the correct position, secure the brake line to the panhard rod with a zip-tie
or similar device. Apply one drop of Loctite to the threads that hold the panhard rod to the car
and axle (the threads should be clean), and tighten all of the attaching hardware. Torque the
attaching hardware to 50ft./lbs.
Once you have centered your axle using a tape measure, use a wrench to tighten the jam nuts against the
panhard rod to keep it from rotating. Cover the zerk fittings using the caps provided. Remove the jack
stands and lower the vehicle to finish the install.
IMPORTANT :
Torque the jam nut before use. Re-torque the jam nut after the first use! Check all
hardware after driving five miles.
To avoid bushing squeak, use the zerk fittings and grease gun to lube the bushings. The bushings will
typically need to be lubed only once a year, but you can also consider lubing them with every oil change
for good measure. Use only NON-LITHIUM based grease for lubrication as lithium base grease can
wash out with water.
