Step 3: Begin on the Chassis bracket and install Stiffy™ onto the Chassis Mount Bracket. The supplied M10 (17mm
HEX) bolt should go down through the bracket, washer, O-ring, Stiffy™ with the nut underneath. The supplied rubber
o-ring is placed between the Stiffy™ rod end and the supplied washer (smaller washers), which mounts against the
bracket (FIGURE 3). Next using the remaining hardware mount the Stiffy™ to the Engine Mount 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 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 Engine Mounting Bracket.

Step 4: FIGURE 4 shows how the Stiffy™ should look after installation. The brackets should be aligned so that the
Stiffy™ is parallel to the front of the engine. If need be, you can use spacers or washers 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.
ALL BRAKE LINES MUST HAVE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE TO THE STIFFY
™ AND THE MOUNTING BRACKETS
AFTER INSTALLATION. The brake lines can be gently bent away from the Stiffy
™ or the brackets if needed to gain
clearance. Failure to provide brake line clearance could result in brake system failure and personal injury.
Alternatively, the Stiffy
™ may be mounted on TOP of the Chassis Bracket in extreme cases. Check for adequate
hood clearance prior to relocating.
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 brackets and the surface they mount on.
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.
