Step 3: Install Stiffy™ onto the Chassis Mount Bracket and Engine Mount Bracket using the supplied hardware as
shown in Figure 3. Place a small spacer between the Stiffy ™ and the chassis bracket. Use one of the M10 bolts to
fasten the Stiffy ™ to the chassis bracket. You may need to loosen the jam nut with an open-end wrench (17mm)
and adjustable wrench to increase the assembly length depending upon application. The supplied M10 (17mm HEX)
bolt should go through the engine side of the bracket, and the Stiffy ™ should mount on the engine side of the
bracket. The supplied rubber o-ring is placed between the Stiffy™ rod end and the supplied washer (smaller
washers), which mounts against the bracket. The Stiffy™ nuts (15mm HEX) are black in color, where all other
supplied nuts are silver in color. The Stiffy ™ adjustment dials should be facing toward the Chassis Mounting
Bracket. Note: Install bolts with bolt head on the rod end side of the assembly and the locking nut (black in color) on
the bracket side of the assembly. Refer to illustration 3 for proper assembly of the mounting hardware. The nut and
bolt can be swapped with the nut against the bracket or rod-end depending upon application, but the washer and o-
ring placement should not be changed.
Notes:
Proper use and fitment of the rubber O-ring helps dampen additional road noise or “feel” that can be transferred through the damper
assembly. The O-ring should be used between the Stiffy ™ heim joint and bracket for optimal noise suppression. Dynamat or other
damping materials, as used in aftermarket audio and in-car electronics industries, can also be used to provide further noise and
vibration damping when used between the chassis bracket and mounting surface (strut cap, etc.).
DO NOT attempt to adjust Stiffy ™ from its pre-set stiffness without consulting the Ingalls website. Large open-end wrenches are
required to adjust stiffness (27mm). Most standard and mechanics tool kits do not include these types of wrenches.

This image shows how the Stiffy™ should look
after installation. The brackets should be
aligned so that the Stiffy™ is parallel to the
mounting surfaces. If need be, you can use a
washer to ensure that the Stiffy™ will be
properly aligned. Make sure however that the
rubber o-ring is against the heim joint for noise
suppression.
